* choice of complex or simple interface
* underlying functionality of this program is excellent
Negatives:
* clumsy interface, needs to be streamlined
* undo system records too many steps
Summary: I really like this program. They have the foundation of a killer app here. Lots of ability for various image manipulations. Unfortunately, the interface is really holding it back right now.

It also has some very easy to find bugs lurking just under the surface.
Example Steps:
1. Select the line tool.
2. Start drawing a line and drag a length.
3. Move the end point around the canvas.
4. Select UNDO from the edit menu.
Result: Each position the end point moved to is recorded and must be undone individually.
I would suggest doing everything possibly to tighten up the speed on this program and fix obvious bugs. It "feels" like it is spending a lot of cycles doing nothing or doing too much when nothing needs to be done. Please keep working on it and I look forward to another release.
