So it could be a good thing to offer from start (just after installation and on the live-CD) a kolourpaint-like software, because gThumb do not allow to do small things like drawing, and Gimp is far too complicated for task like screenshot-modifications.

Moreover, a system of tabs (like in Firefox or in Gedit) would be a very good !

Everybody will tell me : "yeah, but Gpaint already exist !" Yes, but : Gpaint is not available on Ubuntu from the start, it doesn't provide tabs, and KolourPaint is closer from MS Paint than GPaint. Don't forget that MS Paint is a usefull software on Windows, and lots of people expect to find such a software on Ubuntu. Neither KolourPaint nor Gpaint are installed from start...

Microsoft Paint is awesome. It has no anti-aliasing, and you can zoom, so its really good for making simple stuff and pixel art.

GIMP is great, but its a 800 pound gorilla. :)]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:55:50 +0000
For example, would it really make the software more complicated if it had a full truecolour-gradient-spectrum widget at the bottom instead of a discrete set of colours? Adding power does not mean a sacrifice in usability or intuitiveness, in fact it can add to them (but of course adding power to a free program does mean a sacrifice in people wanting to buy a more complete piece of software from a company, for instance Microsoft, which is why I feel Paint hasn't had and will not get significant updates)]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:30:58 +0000 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:45:48 +0000 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:52:07 +0000 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:35:17 +0000
