I use many tools to program, but primarily i use:

  • GIMP - image editing and general graphics work. such as user interface graphics, logos, and so on
  • LibreOffice - vector graphics, user manuals, and so on.
  • geany - my preferred IDE. geany is fast, powerful and i like it.

though often, i find myself writing tools, sometimes for fun, other times because i need a rather specific tool to do something or other. when you start getting into things as complex as virtual machines that are not even binary, you start running into needs for quite specific applications...

I found the perfect replacement for GIMP and it's Affinity; don't get me wrong, I like GIMP but it's limited in some features. Affinity is a one-payment software. Worth every penny.

Oh, first time I see geany.
