This 4chan thread is pretty illustrative of Gimp's UI shortcomings: http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/60884056 http://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/60884056

  Oh wow. No wonder my mom switched from trying linux back to windows after I tried to tell her "you can just use gimp for basic Photoshop stuff" It doesn't even have a circle tool and the best "solution" seems to be ellipse select with shift -> fill -> shrink selection -> delete What a dystopian ux nightmare. Sorry Mom, for inadvertently inflicting gimp on you.

    I loved the reply where they opened Python inside GIMP and draw the circle with "import turtle".

    Er, no. The best solution is to use the circle (select) tool, convert the selection to path, then stroke the path. I don't think it's that far from how one goes about drawing bezier paths in PS (although it is a little more convoluted). https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/28344/how-to-make-circle-with-bordered-boundary-using-ellipse-tool https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/28344/how-...
