for the downvoters:

could you please show me a good textting tool plugin for GIMP, then?

you can check their forums & other sites: the textingtools is on top of their discussion lists?

I don't see it at the top of the discussion on the forums I checked.

So can you expand why you think the text tool, is bad?

I don't understand what you mean by texting tool. Do you mean text rendering? kerning?

Honestly, I think it was just the smiley faces. I didn't downvote.
