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'
I just wanted to make a small road map for a particular place to send to a friend and needed a simple editor to draw straight and diagonal lines. All major image (pixel) editors have line drawing features via a line tool. In GIMP it turns out to be a hidden function thats all.
