Paint.net is great. I love it. For years it was like an obscure gem somehow sitting out in the open within reach of every Windows user. I reached out and started using it long ago, probably since it was made available by some college professor out West somewhere.
But now I have a Mac and needed to switch. Reluctantly I dove into Gimp.
I've tried Gimp before, waded in to try some simple things over the years. Every time left screaming wondering why is this so hard and why am I so dumb? Always ended up back at Paint.net.
Need does something to us. I needed to make some text borders and layer some icons on a logo recently and I really wanted to use my shiny new Mac for a change. So I googled and followed some simple steps. Took too long. But now I know how to do this.
Did the same thing again recently and did not need the tutorial. And it took very little time. And the results were better than what I would have gotten from Paint.net.
Guess I prefer Gimp for graphics editing now. And I'm okay with that.
