What do you mean by "painfully kludgy" and "over-featured"?

I can understand the UI looking a bit spartan to users who never used an Amiga (like myself).

I'm also vaguely interested in alternative paint programs as well, particularly open source ones.

So I'm curious.

Plenty of pixel based options that are actually quite nice, but the brilliance of Claris/MacDraw was its vector focus with a straightforward and powerful integration of interface and features.

Haven’t found that combination together since.

I'll have to poke it in SheepShaver/BasiliskII sometime.
