      Or you know, being able to rearrange layers.

        Or color spasecs other than sRGB (8 bits/channel). I’ve a camera that takes 10 bits/channel photos, a monitor that displays 10 bits/channel, etc. But GIMP will just distort the colors because they hard-coded the color space! Can’t edit for print either, no CMYK. GIMP is an image editor for the noughties, not the 2020s.

        Then again, we’re talking about MS Paint here. If Paint fills your needs, GIMP will be fine.

          Not just 10bit. The Linux version still makes 8bit images more purple after saving.

          Disagree. Paint’s function is to be the Notepad of images, something not very powerful but quick and dead simple.

          GIMP is needlessly hard to use.

        Not a professional either, but I was also curious and learned:

        It’s a layer of which the properties/filters apply to all layers below. So you can basically try around and manipulate the visible image without having to combine the layers first.
