I have to agree...

I've not used it for a few years but when I did, I was completely lost on
how do do even simple things like colour a few pixels (after a few minutes
trying to open a file).
It seemed to massively overcomplicate things to the point it was nigh on
impossible to use.

This is coming from a software developer so if I couldn't figure it out..
