Primitive and uncomfortable. Does not even allow to scroll that preview
image.

Cannot see mv/rm/rename in the GUI elements (menus). Forcing a desktop
user to use CLI for such basic functions is somehow odd. AFAICS no
advanced functions are available either, eg. EXIF data display,
something that every modern digicam adds to JPEG pictures. Or comparing
two directories and displaying which images are new.

The way it renders the pictures/thumbnails? Interpolation, dithering
algorithms. On a slow machine I would prefer to use the fastest method
unless I need the better quality and _then_ I would like to change the
prefs inside the GUI. I get all that with gqview. I miss all that in
feh.

Please, try gqview before judging.
