You can draw a circle in GIMP, but through the ass-backwards method of making a circular selection and filling it out with a bucket tool. And if you want to do just the outline, then there is even more fuckery with the selection edit involved. That's the biggest downside of GIMP, it does not follow any well-known conventions and just does it's own retarded thing, even if it's capable of doing the same things as Photoshop, albeit in a much harder way. Even paint.net has a much more approachable interface while having a lot of powerful features, and it's sad that there is no FOSS image editor with the same ease of use as paint.net, because I believe that's the perfect balance of easy and powerful.

The choice is clear.
Big circular brush then a slightly smaller circular eraser.

Cool Edit 2000 is still the best of them all (one of the exceedingly few shareware programs I ever paid to register), but for practical reasons I use Audition 3.0 now. Old versions just have too many hoops to jump through for MP3 and FLAC support.Audition 2.0 is not good.
I find 1.5 good for the Cool Edit feel, and I'm pretty sure there's a flt that allows it to support flacCool Edit 2000 is still the best of them all (one of the exceedingly few shareware programs I ever paid to register), but for practical reasons I use Audition 3.0 now.

I've used GIMP for no more than 10 minutes, but from what you said I'm assuming there's a circular selection tool that you can fill for a normal circle, and I guess you could feather the selection to make a ring. I mean... why? Why don't they just add a circle tool? Obviously it isn't a technical limitation since it's perfectly doable but in many steps for no reason. Is it just for the meme? Is it just that FOSStards aren't complaining about it because "it's free lol deal with it"?You can draw a circle in GIMP, but through the ass-backwards method of making a circular selection and filling it out with a bucket tool.

Gimp is an image manipulation tool not a drawing tool - it's designed for things like touching up photos.I've used GIMP for no more than 10 minutes, but from what you said I'm assuming there's a circular selection tool that you can fill for a normal circle, and I guess you could feather the selection to make a ring.

It's like if a file manager didn't have a "cut" feature, and the excuse to not adding that feature was to "just copy and delete the source items instead lol". I seriously wouldn't ever use a software from a developer with a mindset like that.
