Graph

Version: 4.0.1

has basic functionality

Pros: It's a basic graphing program that works with complex functions and understands multiple equation formats. It's free.

Cons: This program keeps crashing on me when I try to properly fit a function to a series of points; there aren't many built-in options for doing a function fit, and the user defined options aren't clearly annotated. There is no spreadsheet-like autofill feature when inputting numbers. This is beyond the scope of this software, so this isn't a real complaint, but it lacks the same programmability of a graphing calculator, and it only seems to be able to do 2-d graphs.

Product:

The GIMP

Version: 2.2.11

Gets simple jobs done

Pros: In the realm of free software, this is a five star program, but when compared to professional image editing programs, it's only okay.

This version is more stable than past versions I've worked with. For simple image editing, it gets the job done with straight-forward recognizable tools and good compatability with multiple formats. Essential capabilities such as masking and working in layers are present. There's also a pretty good array of filters.

Cons: The tools availabe are inadequate for doing advanced modification of an image or creation of an image from scratch. I pretty consistently find that there's something I want to do, but there's no easy way to do it. The array of selection tools leaves something to be desired (for example, I haven't found a polygon selection tool). The Gimp can be a bit gimpy from time to time.
