Recycling your lameass posts from only 16 months ago... tsk tsk

No doubt about that.

It is NEITHER.  You have to delude yourself to even use that slopware, 
let alone claim it's 'fantastic'.

Unfortunately, the untalented hobby developers also claim their crapware 
is "the best image viewer / photo collection browser".

I clicked over to Ubuntu WSL and installed Geeqie.  Running it now.

It's crap.  It looks like crap.  It has crap menus.  It has a crap 
toolbar.  The options are pitiful.  It has no Help.  No FAQ.  The 'user 
manual' is a joke. on and on and on.

It's just barebones junk - the furthest thing from a professional 
application.

The single-author, Windows-only, proprietary freeware irfanview smokes 
that silly GuhNoo hobbyware in every way possible.

GuhNoo/Linux hobbyware can't compete.

As is PROVEN once again, the absolute worst developers in the world work 
in the low/unpaid GuhNoo crapware universe, and irfanview vs geeqie is 
more evidence that in a world where Windows exists, there's no reason to 
use Linux.
