when it comes GIMP that is. I downloaded GIMP a few months ago to try it out and because I needed something to make simple graphics for a class I was taking in XNA.
I wanted to draw a circle with some sort of automated device to point click and drag out the size of what I needed.
I never figured out how to do it. I spent about 15 minutes (yeah I'm impatient, bite me) looking for some kind of plugin to do so, nothing was immediately apparent, or easy to install for that matter. So I gave up and downloaded paint.net, which fulfilled all my needs instantly.
I'm pretty new to trying to get deeper into computers but this was not a good start for me, and instantly dropped this sort of venture down a few points in my eyes.
I might however give this book a try, maybe I'll find a gem within this tangled mess yet. However this book may be too little to convince those looking for simple functionality. I think that too many people have been infected with the need for everything they want to be there right away. At least in regards to simple functions, if I want to make a stick figure I shouldn't have to read a readme file, I should have line and circle drawing tools immediately apparent.
This is the part where you all say "Stupid Hoyty1, the button you needed was right there."
