Wish I could give a mixed response, as this is a good piece of software, despite my disappointment. My heart leans towards "Not Recommended," but I know for a fact tonnes of people will love this and with good reason. Hence, a positive recommendation. Decent palette tooling and manipulation, good animation tools, pixel art friendly tools like pixel perfect and rotsprite algs, and brushes, extensibility, etc.

But coming from Pro Motion NG, it feels as though I've gone from driving a lambo on the Autobahn to plodding through a jungle on foot. Some of it is habit, but other things just inherently take more clicks, even with remapped bindings.

Props for native Linux support, but I'll rather deal with Wine + Pro Motion NG.

But what should you do? I'd say, try out the demo for Pro Motion for a bit, keeping the manual open and referring to it as necessary. If you can't stand the workflow, just go with this I guess. I just think Pro Motion is 5000x times.
