@janus2 @Vosh You'll be happy to know it's in the cards. Proof of Concept now that we have vector layers: https://fosstodon.org/@CmykStudent/116455148076446506

I haven't touched it lately since a new contributor was interested in implementing it, but one way or the other I hope to get it into 3.4.

Or, hear me out, a tool that draws a circle.

It is okay to say that GIMP can technically do this, and also that it needs a straight up circle tool. Not having a live preview of what you are doing is not good UX in this situation.

"GIMP can technically do this" should be its tagline.

That's how I felt when I discovered non-destructive layer transformations are (technically) possible

Still bothered it doesn't have a preview tho
