We've merged raster and vector apps based on participation and feedback.

Which doesn't make sense IMO but because I use GIMP the most by far, that's what I voted for.

KolourPaint, GIMP, GNU Paint, InkScape, Karbon, LibreOffice Draw, MtPaint, MyPaint, XPaint for different things. Of the most powerful (which I'd normally vote for) I could never decide between GIMP and InkScape, as for equally-important different purposes; too bad to see these are merged.

I use GIMP + Resynthesizer, RawTherapee, Darktable, Hugin, Krita, MyPaint, Inkscape.

I think this category should be split in graphic and photography software.

I don't really know, but I think windows is more useful in this area. Unfortunately.

I am also disappointed to see Gimp and Inkscape in the same list of choices. There is a vast difference between svg and raster editors. Wish I could vote for both as they truly work well together in producing logos etc.

* We do realize that some polls have nominees that are not directly comparable. There are over 40 polls. If we got down to the granularity some members would like to see, there would be 100's if not 1000's of polls. That would be a net decline in the usefulness of the awards IMHO. We try to strike the best balance we can, and do modify the polls and nominees every year, based on feedback. If you have any suggestions on how the polls can be improved, do let us know.

This category used to be split and got very little participation.

I was actually aware of that when I wrote my post. It wasn't my intention to complain, or kick off a wave of complaints...

to take advantage of both strengths at the ***same time***!

jmonlive · 01-07-2021, 12:00 AM

for graphical editing (on few occassions I do that).

No complaint, just a sadness that that two of the three programs that I use across multiple platforms couldn't both get votes. I understand the trying to increase participation. Thank you for your work on the awards.

What about mtpaint?

weirdwolf · 01-20-2021, 06:24 PM

seldom use one anymore, but when I do it's ImageMagick

For this and a few other blended categories you could perhaps consider giving us three columns, "fave," "fave for graphics," and "fave for image editing" with only "fave" being mandatory. Then you could report overall fave over a larger participation, and also give an honourable mention to the apparent leads in the sub categories.

GIMP, with a doubt.
