The problem is ... when they get it right, they are damn good. Just like Microsoft (just look at VS!)
But when they aren't right on the ball they just toss in crap and it all gets in the way. Just like Microsoft. 
And they never admit they were wrong and undo changes. Just like Microsoft.
And they never listen to customers. Just ... like ... Microsoft.
Hmmm ... I see a theme here ...

It's never stopped working on me (other than crashes) even when updates are out. I generally update to the previous version just before the new one comes out, because the offers get much, much better (within the limits of Planet CorelPricingStructure which is clearly not for the mind of mere mortal man.)

Another one to be aware of is Krita. It is free, and quite powerful as it is designed around painting (and can handle screen shots). This video brought it to my attention.

I've only minor experience with Photoshop, and only glanced at the Paintshop Pro web site. Other folks have mentioned their favorite/most-hated image editor so I'll chime in, as I use Paint.NET[^].
Paint.NET is a very competent image editor. I've used it for everything from creating small icons for UI buttons to retouching scanned photographs. The base application provides most of the capability you might need, but there is a healthy plugin community as well for file type, effect, and shape support. Best of all, it's free.

This post brought back memories of my first 'real' computer, a mid-90's powermac 6100 that had some really awesome painting/drawing demos. I haven't seen anything that good since. Paint-3D is pretty good but still a bit primitive.
My colleague has actually been doing a lot of nice design work lately using MS Publisher and PowerPoint.

No, it's a way for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to test pork products for contaminants and improper handling, all without analyzing any actual meat.

An amusing, but also not amusing, writeup: Why Angular Made Me Quit Web Dev – Hacker Noon[^]
Quote: Not a single part of ANGULAR’s design makes your code run faster. It increases only three things: complexity bloat, the time it takes to complete a simple feature, and — if you can somehow avoid driving yourself insane writing this spaghetti day in and day out — job security for you and your team.
Yup, that's certainly my (granted, very limited) experience.

Two years ago the management - out of the blue - decided to write the new version of our portals in Angular...
It is just a messy tool - probably good for a quick-and-dirty, few page long site, but has nothing to do with large scale (enterprise) development...
We have to bend it over and over, and glue together when brakes...

Amusing!  I'll stick with good old asp.net webforms thank you! It may not be 'cool' but I'm used to it (can be productive) and it's easy to debug and deploy/update.

My take, too. Unfortunately, as I start my job search (position eliminated due to my lack of experience with open source and Angular that my employer has decided to transition to) almost every .NET job in town requires experience with AngularJS. Oy.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Well, I can't really comment on Angular as I've never used it (Javascript itself was my reason for running a mile from web development) but I find some of the comments rather depressing.
Basically, a guy writes a highly amusing rant only to be met with replies along the lines of "I don't do humour. Angular is ace. You must die for your sins." It's kind of everything that's wrong with the bottom half of the internet.

Quote: One of the most reliable ways to discern whether a corporation has begun to rot is to gauge the derivative of the utility its products provide over time.
Hyperbole right off the bat. A sure indication of truth in the article.  Probably a good read nonetheless.
