Does gimp not have a circle?
I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.
(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but… [x] doubt)
New version? I’m pretty I’ve heard that statement before…

Rather than trying to be different for the sake of being different, they’ve realized that photoshop and similar UIs actually make for pretty great UX so they’ve adopted it.
TLDR
This was gimp 2.0 when it came out

This is GIMP 3.0 RC

Single window by default did wonders for usability.
Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.
You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don’t need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I’m sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.
