It doesn't appear to have any image editing tools. Kind of a showstopper in terms of posting pictures - I can't even crop.

I guess it's better to get used to your own editor app, which could be used for anything, not just Pixelfed.

Adding another step in the toolchain basically means it's not going to be used, unfortunately.

I currently use PixelDroid and it has editing tools but I'm open to using another client if it's a smoother experience.

I disagree. It probably won't be as popular as an app that does have editing features but personally I'm fine with the lack of this feature.

I would also rather just edit photos in another dedicated app. IMO this is in line with the UNIX philosophy and I like that.
