If you want to replace GIMP with any other graphics editing software in
the Xubuntu default installation, please start an application comparison
wiki page (please use [1]). Application comparing template exists at the
Ubuntu wiki too, see [2]. You can select this template when creating the
new page, just scroll to the bottom part of the list.
