Replacing GIMP

[Bruno Benitez]

I do know that there is no such "standard image editor" but if we never
start finding one, or adding one to our apps then we will never have one, I
think there should be a "standard image editor"
(pinta/gpaint/nathive<http://www.nathive.org/>/other)
a "professional image editor" (GIMP/others) and then we could have "Image
viewers" whit some "editing capabilities" (gpicview/gthumb).  I do not
propose Pinta directly, It looks awesome in my opinion, but it does depend a
lot on Mono, so if its choosen it wont ment a huge space saver either...
