I had to draw a map for someone and required to use the straight line tool. I found to my dismay that GIMP (2.6.8) does not have a straight line drawing tool. How can the developers forget such a basic thing? I had to download tuxpaint for the job and it did just that.
inkscape is there - GIMP is an image manipulating program. 'nix philosophy is 'many small apps each aimed at one thing and does it well, rather than one big app that claims to do many things - and usually does most of them badly'
