Discussion: GIMP in the default seed

[Peter Rauhut]

Pinta would be a great option to replace GIMP as a default editor. It's 
quick to respond and simple to pick up for basic editing. The biggest 
issue I can see is that it isn't being maintained regularly, the latest 
release was May of last year.
