It's the sweet spot for me. I don't edit images for a living, but I push pixels around enough for hobbies (e.g. making video game maps) that I want something user friendly and pleasant. Pixelmator Pro has way more features than I'll ever need or use, and all the ones I do need are ergonomic to me, a person who doesn't have decades of Photoshop muscle memory.
- ModernMech 2y agoThis is the market GIMP needed to fill but doesn't. It's definitely capable but it's never been "friendly and pleasant" to my eye.
- segasaturn 2y agoPaint.NET fills that market also, but it's Windows-only shareware.
- vunderba 2y agoKrita feels like GIMP done right to me,
- prmoustache 2y agoI am using both[1] and I never understood these kind of comments. Their UI is so similar. [1] Krita more as paint tool on my Lenovo Yoga, Gimp more as an editing tool on other computers.
- kstrauser 2y agoAs long as there continue to be tutorials for how to draw a circle in GIMP, they will not seem alike to me.
- kstrauser 2y agoI used GIMP for years and years before Pixelmator came around, and the first time I tried Pixelmator was the last time I used GIMP. As others here mentioned, Krita is also much nicer. If Pixelmator didn't exist it's probably what I'd use instead.
