    Missing loads of features gimp has. Can’t make layers. Selection tools are basically nonexistent. Disappointing.

    No way comparable to GIMP, much too simple in functions. It doesn't give as much options for editing images, as GIMP does.

    It's simple to use and I can make all sorts of abstract backgrounds on it! It feels like KidPix on a strict budget, but at least like GIMP, Corel Paint and FireAlpaca I can blend colours. The sound effects can be hit or miss, but they're fun for children at least.
