What is Milton?
Milton is an open source application that lets you Just Paint®.
There are no pixels, you can paint with (almost) infinite detail. It feels raster-based but it works with vectors. It is not an image editor. It is not a vector graphics editor. It is a program that lets you draw, sketch and paint. There is no save button, your work is persistent with unlimited undo.
Comments and Reviews
Fast, lightweight and to the point. The UI is minimal and to the point. This is really about simply drawing and sketching. Everything is vectors, so there's no Fill tool and you also can't export it as a .SVG or similar file, which is a shame
The lack of SVG export is quite odd, but I imagine it has to do with how absurdly complex/large the resultant SVG files could be. It is on Github though, so one could always add in an SVG export option with a bit of work.
