 One must fell a tree.
 One is confronted with an axe and a chainsaw.
 I choose the axe and I can bring down that tree faster than
some flabby idiot who has no choice but to pick up the chain saw.
    

I'm not a professional logger. I'm just an old farmer who over the years has used both, and if well maintained the saw is faster and more accurate for putting the tree where you want it instead of on your pickup truck.
I've also bucked the tree into pieces with a chainsaw and with a crosscut hand saw, both one-man and two-man, and the chainsaw is easier, faster, and better.
I've also split many a log into firewood with a hammer and wedges, as well as with a gasoline-powered hydraulic log splitter, and the log splitter will split tangled logs into usable pieces with ease that a hammer and wedges won't touch no matter how long you beat on them.
Perhaps you believe that the exercise from using hand tools is better for health. Well, anybody who thinks you don't get a workout when using power tools to put up a winter's supply of firewood clearly has never actually done the task.
Dunno what any of this has to do with GIMP 3.0. though.
