It's cool that the C64 has so many choices in existing gfx apps. The Plus/4 front is way behind as you can see. I don't think we will see any gfx tools on our platform ever - at least not as native apps. To modify an existing app is a lot of work, disassembling is just the first step. To make these kind of changes you really have to understand, learn the application - too much time. Write new apps is also a major undertaking.
On the PC front it's a bit different. We already have PixelShop. The author's site has disappeared (common in our scene), and it's not open source. I have a little drawing program as well, but it's not ready for prime time. The advantages on PC are quite obvious though: fast performance, mouse or keyboard, nearly unlimited undo, fast zooming etc.
