Aseprite Seems deliberately designed to be as unintuitive as possible. Every time I use this program it's a fight. To name just a few issues:

- Color management is a chore. All new sprites default to indexed color mode with a locked palette. Reorganizing your palette physically swaps those colors in the image. You're just somehow suppsed to KNOW that you have to change the sprite to RGB mode before doing anything with colors. You know, the DEFAULT BEHAVIOR OF ALL IMAGE EDITORS IN HISTORY.

- Copying and pasting part of an animation pastes BEFORE the currently selected frame. There is no way to paste after, meaning 100% of the time you will have to move the last frame to the beginning of your paste--If you pasted more than 20 frames, good luck finding where that was.

- To move an animation frame or palette entry, you have to click and drag the very EDGE of the ui element. There is no indication that this is how you move things. You have to look it up.

- Rotating your sprite 90 degrees rotates all frames of your animation. There is no way to rotate just the selected frames. Even if you copy the un-rotated sprites to your clipboard first, IT ROTATES YOUR CLIPBOARD TOO! WHY!?

- Rotsprite is a joke. It does nothing better than nearest pixel; the store page example with the bread is tailor-made to make it look good.

In conclusion, If you need to do literally anything in Aseprite, you have to look up a tutorial. 50% of the time, the answer will be "You can't." The program's only saving grace is its animation tools--the ability to work with layers and frames simultaneously and the ability to link cels of animation are a Godsend, and it's an absolute crime that no other programs do anything like this. If Aseprite's animation tools weren't an absolute requirement for this medium, I wouldn't use it at all.
