So knowing how thoroughly unreliable the tool you have chosen to use for 
the job is, you do "hours" of work without once managing a little cntl-s

Not once but many times it seems.

I used to run an operating system that was unreliable like that. I used 
to hit the Save key about twice for every line of code I wrote. I made 
frequent named backs, so I could backtrack.

At that point I could say it was a heap of shit and go to make a coffee 
while it rebooted. I could not say it was responsible for my losing 
hours and hours of unsaved work.

I'm not blindly defending Gimp which certainly has its short-comings and 
annoyances but I think you need to look at the way you work and the way 
you modify your methods based upon experience.

Just saying.

It's curious that after fucking yourself you invite others to take the 
same course of action.

Since Gimp is absolutely the worst piece of software ever written, you 
should have not trouble finding something that works better. In fact by 
definition everything works better.

So don't forget to pop back and tell us what you decide to use. I'd be 
interested in what you find and how you find it compares to Gimp.

best regards and good luck.
