    It lacks the simplicity and the 'just-works' feel of Irfan. gThumb keeps resizing images, doesn't respond logically to a scroll wheel and has an overal annoying interface.

    gThumb does not have some of the more important and convenient features found in IrfanView.

    Fast, compact, responsive, so many features like batch conversion, screen capture, image compression, etc., definitely this is a amazing tool.

    In addition to functioning as an excellent alternative to IrfanView's image viewing capabilities (I love IrfanView personally, but enjoy a little variety sometimes, too), Imagine also includes an animation viewer and even provides screenshot capabilities, acting as a "GreenShot/IrfanView".
