I wish there was an easier Gimp, like Paint shop pro 5 easy, because it may be the most powerful tool for image editing yet I've hard a super hard time creating a simple screenshot with a red arrow. Found some stack overflow tutorials to import some stuff that were broken for which I had to go to internet archive. Wasted few hoours, still didn't work, so started looking for alternative solutions. Finally found a tool called shuttr which has an in-built image editor which finally does the job that I want including surprisingly most of my other image editing requirements. I think my fault is when I was using Windows I used Photoshop for everything so I assumed Gimp is the linux version for Photoshop.

I find Pinta useful for those sorts of tasks. It's open source and supports most platforms. https://www.pinta-project.com/ https://www.pinta-project.com/

  "Pinta is a Gtk# clone of Paint.Net 3.0", [0] I knew it looked familiar. It's the toolbar icons. Paint.NET is amazing and exactly what I need most of the time. Too bad that they turned away from open source after people/sites started selling own builds [1]. Going after these people legally might have been preferable from our view but I understand that changing the license might have been both cheaper and actually more feasible.
