Pixelmator is great, but it misses extremely useful feature: move canvas view ouside the border.

Feature request filled back in 2012 and still not implemented: http://support.pixelmator.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8336

Without it working in areas near the edges is very stressful and painful.

The worst part is that it used to allow panning outside the canvas. At some point, they broke it in fullscreen (or non-fullscreen, I don't remember). Then they broke it in the other mode. They also removed the option to hide all windows with the tab key, which was extremely useful when working on a small screen. And they also moved all their color filters into another large window you have to open, obscuring your canvas. It's clear that they develop this app on a massive screen, and give no thoughts to the people who might want to use it on a 13'' MacBook.
