Wrong.
"GIMP is a cross-platform image editor ... Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done." - gimp.org
Shape tools is a universal basic tool for any software that handle some sort of image creation or addition.
Photo editing, general image editing, painting software, page layout design, vector design, PDF editor, all of them have one.
Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Photopea, Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, ... all of them have shape tools.
Heck, even Microsoft Excel and Word even have one.
EDIT: Shape tool is planned, not yet WIP. Source: GIMP Roadmaps
GIMP has shape tools like MS Paint does.
Also, why not use those programs you listed instead, if GIMP isn't getting the job done.
Using select tools to make shape is not actual Shape tools.
As I stated previously, GIMP developers list Shape Tools in the roadmap.
Hoping our tool to be more capable is just a normal thing. I want GIMP to be the best image editor, I want Krita to be the best painting and animation software, and so on.
That moment when MS Paint is more advanced than GIMP, lol.
To be fair, MS Paint (and other Paint-alike) software shape tools is barebone. No NDE and just direct to canvas/layer. (which perfectly fine for its scope)
