That's because you probably don't know the powerful qiv: qiv is a quick
image viewer, I think it's the fastest. Cool! I sometimes use it. It's a
CLI.

Concerning to eog, actually I use to remove it after the install, you
know.. "yum remove .." since (I don't know why but..) it ends up to
gatecrash in the install. I think it's a thing almost useless, ugly, ..

I agree with your impressions about gqview, probably the most complete/
effective for viewing lots of images. But if you also want somewhat of
editing (resize, etc..) without going for The Gimp, so the best IMO
probably should be gthumb.

To sum up, there have not much sense to claim for "the best image
viewer", that will depends on..
