For a certified maniac there’s also one bump of a brush with 100% hardness and using gradient tool, radial, with no actual gradations.
And if you are feeling like killing a school bus of puppies, you can put a coin or a mug to the screen with one hand while drawing around it with the other, using a live mouse, biting you, as you move it and hallucinate the formation of the ideal circular form.
No, most of the times for shapes in Photoshop you’d use the shape tool, which can generate them in raster, or better, as paths, allowing you to modify them later non-destructively.
I loved how non-destructive placement of existing graphics works but I can’t remember when I used the shape tool in PS without going straight to AI for it’s shape-building anchor-induced shenanigans. Can you tell what use besides non-pixelated masks you’ve used in your workflow? It’s the only application I can think of, but that’s maybe because my field of use is too narrow.
I dunno, I haven’t used it in years. You could create objects from layers of shapes with effects applied to them, together with masks and such, for example. TBH I almost never used the basic shapes, I’d mostly create paths with the pen.
The thing with Photoshop is that it’s such a large software that nobody uses all of it, but every part is used by somebody.

Same with other their products. For me it’s a permanent love-hate perception of Adobe for they are making these cool tools but are very, very greedy. Yet, I still can’t really get into other tools that don’t copy them.
No idea about Photoshop, never got to use it. The last piece of bitmap graphic editing software I used other than Gimp was Micrografx Picture Publisher 4/5, and that has been a while.
I’ll admit I do see some quality of life features in Photoshop though, plus I’d like to play around with some of the “AI” feature for infilling etc.
That being said, from what I gather from OP, there seems to be a circular shape tool that saves 2-3 clicks when drawing a circle in PS? Looking at the pros/cons, not a convincing argument, but then again, I don’t look at memes for any meaningful argument or a reasonable discussion.
I wasn’t writing this comment seriosly, but there’s also a shape tool, but it’s rather weird and sits at the bottom of the toolbar so I don’t feel like many professional users really care about it.
Krita has an ellipse tool which turns into circle with shift (ctrl and alt and ctr+alt also do nice things) but I wasn’t even aware of it existing before looking right now. It’s probably also been my first time opening Krita without wearing a tablet glove.
Anon doesn’t know how to draw a circle in GIMP
Skill issue
But seriously, how do you do it?
Circular selection, fill?
Or, for an annulus: circular selection, border, enter border width, fill.
Or, for any selection in general: edit, stroke selection.
Isn’t that how you do that in Photoshop?

Thanks.

Yeah I’ve got the same problems with CAD/CAM… I’ve gotten so used to SOLIDWORKS/Inventor that it’s hard to switch to open alternatives.
Oh yah now I remember that I also used the shape tool to add or subtract from selections without having to keep the space bar pressed.

No worries, I got that from the second part.
For an anus? Nice
Fill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The same way you do it in Photoshop, really
Choose the circular pattern on the pencil tool and set the width to your desired diameter.

Got to say that I had some trouble with that on gimp, but it’s possible!
