It doesn't appear like there is much of a choice. Even though GiMP isn't really a good option either, there doesn't seem to be any reason to change, if the options we have aren't any better.

I have an idea, why dont we keep GiMP as editor and gThumb as viewer, I said it before, GiMP is pretty solid to run on the go while you use it live. On the other hand you can include other editors "as available" to show on-the-installation-screen.

    the problem with pinta[1] is that it runs on Mono, if it wherent
    for that i would imagine we would not be having this discussion as
    its perfect for what we need.

        Pinta would be a great option to replace GIMP as a default
        editor. It's quick to respond and simple to pick up for basic
        editing. The biggest issue I can see is that it isn't being
        maintained regularly, the latest release was May of last year.

            What about Pinta[1]? It's lightweight, offers basic and
            advanced
            editing options, and is much more comprehensible than GIMP.

                There is also a portable version you can run on a
                external hard

                        Since we are discussing about other choices in
                        the default seed
                        already, it feels like the perfect time to
                        bring yet another
                        discussion to the table:

                        Do we want to keep shipping GIMP?

                        For some background, the team has discussed
                        the issue [1] and
                        gone through various simpler alternatives [2]
                        for GIMP a few
                        times* in the past, but no suitable candidate
                        was found.

                        Do we think there is a suitable, light and
                        easy-to-use
                        alternative for GIMP now? Should we simply
                        drop GIMP altogether
                        and not replace it?

                        Discuss.

                        Cheers, Pasi
