Aseprite. Way lighter than Photoshop CC or Blender. http://imgur.com/VIKM2Wj http://imgur.com/VIKM2Wj - I have Asepite open with two huge Vladstudio wallpapers and Photoshop and Blender just idling (nothing open). Photoshop CC and Blender register a higher energy impact in OS X. New features get added all the time. If you do try Aseprite and find any problem with it, definitely file an issue. I haven't seen any feedback on power consumption, I imagine due to it being relatively smaller in footprint to other apps graphic artists use. There's probably a lot potential to make it better. I acknowledge your point regarding using those libraries also. In the context of Aseprite and Schism Tracker, the aesthetic plays an important role. Aseprite is for pixel art and its' interface is deliberately done so, Schism Tracker wants to recreate the old DOS app Impulse Tracker. Customizing that to work cross-platform with a widget toolkit probably wouldn't pan out or be nearly as flexible.
