Yes, I think this is a good starting point: a practical tool, not a functional dinosaur, but with the most important tools in it. Gwenview for instance is a good viewer, but only a viewer. IrfanView in the Windows world tries to be a viewer with a set of most important manipulation tools, but is mostly used as a viewer. And the latest MS Paint thing just drives me nuts with its unsorted surface.
