LinkJust some criticism for the new canvas. No, I don't hate it if you're wondering, but I do hate some parts of it.
First thing I'd like to mention is that whenever you want to delete a frame, it always asks for confirmation. I can understand why this is on the delete anim button or clear canvas button, but why does deleting ONE frame require a confirmation? It just slows things down and inconveniences a lot of stuff. Maybe something to turn off the confirmation pop-up would work, because I can see people liking that.
Next up, copy-pasting. This one isn't used much overall, but I personally have had to do it a couple times. For HSBF and TYOF, I had to get the frames from an animator, copy paste a frame, clear the canvas, load the full anim, paste it, save it, and repeat that. That works fine on the old canvas, but on the new canvas, the trashcan icon (clear canvas) deletes whatever you have to copy-paste too. Definitely not a fan of that.

LinkThen there's the pen tool. RIP. I didn't use it much, but I know a lot of animators whose styles only work with the pen tool. Hopefully that gets brought back.
The sizes you can use for drawing is different from the previous canvas, so if you have an animation made on the previous canvas and the site converts to the beta one, things won't line up properly. I think one way of fixing this issue might be to either add a few more sizes or have something that you slide or type a number into to get a size for the line that you're drawing. Hope that makes sense.

LinkPaint bucket. Need I say more? Yes, I know Flipanim is working on a paint bucket tool. Just thought I'd mention that.
And one more thing: There should be a setting to go back and forth between the beta canvas and the one we've been using since the site began. That would definitely be good to use! And I wouldn't mind if the watermark changed with it, too.
That's all I can think of right now. Really like the new canvas so far, but I will have to get used to it in order to start animating on this thing.
