Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP?

Arno contributes a link to Paint.NET, a free-of-charge raster-graphics program for Windows XP machines. "Quote: 'Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows XP. Paint.NET is jointly developed at Washington State University with additional help from Microsoft, and is meant to be a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with all Windows operating systems. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with GDI+ extensions.' It really seems like a nice tool. I definitely prefer its UI to GIMP's."

Gimp

[wobblie]

I would like to point out that, even though I am a photoshop user, and this story has nothing to do with gimp or photoshop, that I personally hate gimp, because, well, because I just don't like it. It might be ok for doing little things here and there, but gimp is truly lacking. Only old people use gimp.

"how well people can access the feature"

Very good point, jellomizer:

"The basic rule is that 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So it is not matching feature per feature with photoshop it is matching how well people can access the feature." -jellomizer
