- blub 10y agoA relative was using MS Paint to draw some simple floor plan diagrams and asked whether there's any better tool available. Gimp is actually overfeatured for what they need, but that was the only thing I found which I could install with a good enough certainty that I won't infect their computer with malware.
- kenoph 10y agoGimp is actually not that good for drawing. I guess that if simplicity is needed, Paint.NET (www.getpaint.net) is a good option. EDIT: I mean drawing geometrical stuff. Of course it's good for general drawing.
- blub 10y agoI strongly advise against Paint.NET. Besides the lack of download security they have huge "download" ads leading who knows where on the front page and a tiny download link. They are knowingly using this dark pattern to make ad money which is too bad, because as you say the app is really good.
- sp332 10y agoYou could install it with Ninite?
- Bromskloss 10y agoInkscape?
- blub 10y agoI ended up installing that too, but to be honest it's much too complicated and not exactly a good fit for floor plans. I just remembered that there's also Dia (diagram editor), I might give that one a try.
- Bromskloss 10y agoI'm afraid I don't see that Gimp is any more suitable. Far less, actually.
