IrfanView is not a simple viewer. Take all of what qView does away from IrfanView and you still have a complete program. qView appears to be a good program just not an alternative to IrfanView.

Is gThumb a good alternative to IrfanView?Comments about gThumb as an Alternative to IrfanView
It lacks the simplicity and the 'just-works' feel of Irfan. gThumb keeps resizing images, doesn't respond logically to a scroll wheel and has an overal annoying interface.
1gThumb does not have some of the more important and convenient features found in IrfanView.

Comments about nomacs as an Alternative to IrfanView
nomacs is so far the best contender to irfanview. You can go through images and delete or keep. Scale and cut. Having some trouble with paste, but I hope that is a setting. Or an yet undiscovered feature.
No bloated user interface.
Has possibilty to paste image from clipboard!
