gimpusers.com is not an official gimp forum. In fact on our official web
site there is no forum.

Please feel free to stick to your previous solution. If using GIMP is
too much effort for you, then don't. It really is that simple.

Gimp has a long and convoluted history, and it most certainly is not
designed to be a clone of some other tool - since that would be quite
boring for us developers. I consider it good to have different
approachas to the same problem.

And no, that does not mean that we don't want you as a new user - but we
certainly won't force you into unhappiness.

Bye,
