Actually, paintShopPro lets you draw a line, and PhotoShop lets you rotate to an angled guide, but, except for the difficulty of aligning the grid, which I see as a separate issue, the GIMP approach is vastly superior, because you can check alignment against several parts of the image, both horizontal and vertical. But yes, it needs to be streamlined, you are right.
