#3Haven't really tried much yet, but initial impression is that it seems noticeably snappier than the older version.
That said, I mostly use it to crop images and highlight regions when documenting bug-reports with screenshots.
Most of these enhancements are probably not meant for me :)

I just used it without lag. Consider making a bug report instead of a snarky comment on HN?

My money is on UX. But let's hear it from OP.

#10I had this, but got rid. I find my mastery of regular paint suffices and for anything else, I can hop into Photoshop.
