I will ignore the provocative nature of your message and will instead
stay on topic by showing a video that illustrates the kind of quick
and dirty image editing that I was referring to in my previous posts:

I will admit that the paradigm may be unorthodox, but I highly doubt
that you can do this sort of basic editing more efficiently with WB or
any other existing tool for that matter.

this is a very special use-case, it stops working when changing the
background to something more colorful. Very frustrating when you start
editing with ShowImage and have to continue with something else... There
has been already a long discussion on BeGeistert (at least >7 people were
involved) how to improve Showimage and we all agreed that the limited
editing feature is not very helpful.

There is a simple solution to this problem: open a text editor, load the
ShowImage source and add a proper editing tool. (one more conclusion from
BG: stop talking, start coding :-))
