Personally, I find xfig to be much more useful than GIMP for drawing
icons, etc. because it is an Xterm vector graphics editor with the
ability to export JPG or PNG images. This despite its highly nonstandard
UI. However, ymmv.

GIMP is often regularly used on Windows though, whereas xfig is not
(although AFAIK it comes with Cygwin along with its special X server...).

I think you misread what I wrote...

OSX does use LF (but OS9 and earlier were CR).

Yup.

Since I've never seen "OSX" used to refer to OS9 and its ancestors I took
the above to mean that early OS X versions used CR before changing to LF
in midstream.
