Graphics, User Interfaces Yesterday, the Open Sword Group released a beta of Pixen v3. "Pixen is the best program for the pixel artist using Mac OS X. Pixen is specifically for small-scale or pixel art; it shines better there than any other application. Not only that, but Pixen carries no price tag: it's open source under the MIT license and absolutely free." As far as I know, this is the only application of it's kind, with no equivelant on either Mac, Windows or Linux.

Of course it can-- but you don't use a chainsaw to cut your bread now do you?

GIMP is nice but it' way too overkill for true Pixelart. Besides that, GIMP is a usability nightmare to me.

It's also not Mac-native, so it doesn't fit in as well with the rest of the interface. It doesn't feel at "home".
