Irony: "People on HN complain about using of Paint, a terrible software for the Job" What that people use? - Vim - Emacs - C - Pico - Shell (and here stuff like grep...) - ... (fill here your grudges, I not judge you) "And people wonder: Imagine if that guy use something, like, you know... modern AND good?"

that's a bad analogy. With vim, emacs, C, shell etc... you can still do everything other programs do, there is just more setup and sharp edges. With MS Paint, no amount of setup can produce gradients or layers with proper transparency. It is not usability/polish question, this is core deficiency.

  Of course you can do gradients with Paint. It’s just more work. A bit like a lot of coding in Vim.

    That second statement makes me think you don't have authority to speak about Vim.
