    Notepad is perhaps better known as a code editor than a word processor

    How many insane people are using notepad for software development that it’s “better known” for that?

    Pinta has become my favorite image editing tool. Every other one I feel like I have to fight with in order to do anything (looking at you Gimp), but Pinta is so easy and intuitive it’s a joy to use.

    I truly can’t fathom why microsoft are so bad at these things. I actually like the photos “app” on windows but it recently updated to instead of allowing cropping and rotating to having a colourful button for “edit in designer” which doesnt open anything, creates a blank photos window and crashes.

    They are so bad at improving customer experience. I have an opportunity next month with our cto and cio and I am hoping to get across just how shitty they are to deal with and interact with.

        We are saving literal millions a yeae by moving from google. Its a bottom line decision, the best I can hope for is to colour their view to hold the opinion against the savings in discussions down the line.

        Sharepoint overcomplicates everything.

    Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?

        Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

          I’ve been using it off and on for over twenty years and it’s never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time…

            Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.
