But at the same time, I don't see why anyone wouldn't use GIMP. It's completely free and it's a great program, giving you more options than paint does. It's not like it takes a long time to download or anything.

GIMP compared to Paint is like a fully automatic wood harvester machine compared to an axe. But if you just want to cut the low end of your christmas tree a bit so that it matches better with that thing in which it belongs, you choose the axe. You don't put your tree into that harvester machine for an action as simple as that.

That got longer and more complicated as I had planned.

I understand what you're saying, but if you already have GIMP there's really no reason to use paint to crop instead of GIMP. It's not like it takes more effort to crop in GIMP than it does in paint. But really, who cares, everyone should just use whichever program they prefer. It doesn't really matter.

Yes of course, but GIMP takes ages to load on my comp, probably that's not the case with others.

Well then, that is a very valid reason not to use GIMP, I don't blame you at all haha

Don't really have a fancy name for this one, so I'm just using a quote instead:

A dog may be man's best friend, but the horse wrote history

And this time, the horse wrote "Murder, bloody murder"?
from my roman campaign, the AI at it's best decides to siege assault one of my less garnisoned cities, with horses.
