Did you have a good look?

Clearly palapely is very playable because you can zoom-in/zoom-out, scroll  
and easily connect pieces together while in libre-jigsaw pieces are snapping 
together only after annoying precision-work.
Besides pieces are looking better in palepeli.

To appreciate xjig you need a little bit more patience: it is mostly 
controlled by command line and parhaps lacking some GUI to choose an image but 
it's gameplay is rich, unique and challenging because pieces can be flipped 
over as well as rotated.

I might be overly critical to libre-jigsaw but its interface do not appears 
very impressive to me...

Thank you for your effort. It is appreciated despite some criticism that you 
may feel. :)
