GNOME Could Soon Have An Alternative To Microsoft Paint

[Azrael5]

Why would one need it, when GIMP is available ?
You just don't use all advanced stuff any you have a "Paint"...

Since to make simple editing with a complex program is not smart.

If KolourPaint just had a selection tool where you could fix the aspect ratio it would be perfect. Is there any other simple GUI image manipulation tool that has this? (like Paint.net on Windows)

Good. KDE has its own: Kolourpaint. An excellent program. It is able to use the menu by the right button of the mouse and it can edit the image by cut resize and paste the portion of that same image. It's perfect. However it is good that another kind of paint will be available.

I use mtPaint for quick things like that. It's C and GTK+ too, but of course Gnome wants a terrible mobile UI like all its modern programs.

I use gimp for some stuff but it is a nightmare for routine select crop rotate batch add text.

ImageMagick is your friend (convert, mogrify).

Why not web app?

Really, just use KolourPaint. it is a solid app. and the newer versions doesn't require ANY kde packages. Really, just use it.
