But I dearly miss my beloved Firefox extensions. One of them ist More >

One thing that is still missing on Linux (or to be more precise on GNOME) is a easy to use and modern image editor. The GIMP rocks, but it fails in terms of simplicity. Many people need a simple to use image editor. They don’t need fancy masks, layers and hundreds of brushes. They need More >
