It doesn't have my favorite Deluxe Paint feature: split-screen zoom.
When you pressed M, it zoomed area under the cursor, while also keeping a 1:1 view on the side. This gave fine motor control to edit pixels, while also allowed seeing how the overall image looks like. This was especially important when dithering by hand.
The gradient tool is affecting the entire area, instead of being a quirky flood fill of line gradients. I don't see a blur brush either. These two tools gave DP-painted images a recognizable style.
It's a nice editor, but it gives me vibes of Photoshop 5, not Deluxe Paint.
There's a split screen zoom in the menu "view" -> "split screen"
(Or press tab)
Most of the tools (like flood fill gradient and blur) I find easier to apply the the entire layer and then use selections or masks to only apply it to the area you want.
It certainly not a direct Deluxe Paint clone, more a conceptual successor while keeping a heavy focus on Amiga file formats and pixels.
