You are entitled to your opinion on which graphic proggy is better.
Based on your several years of use, you may have formed a valid 'opinion'.
However...
Be very careful when discounting others' opinions, whose experience of these programs may, in fact, be far greater than your own.
There can be nothing more embarrassing than to berate a proggie's performance to someone, only to discover that they actually wrote it. [not necessarily the case this time, but I can assure you that you are truly 'new' to digital graphics in comparison to others here].
Also, please note that personal attacks and comments just to be 'annoying' are not tolerated.
