I am new to graphic design and animation, I have tried other products like GIMP and PhotoShop before, but I have always been frustrated with the lack of options at the end of the day and stopped trying after that.
After a week with Synfig I can say I am impressed with the possibilities, although frustrated with myself. This is going to take some time and stimulate some braincells, but I can see that I will be able to do a lot.
