OK. Bikeshedding time :)

I used the words from the developers themselves
<https://github.com/jurplel/qView>, so I didn't mean anything in
particular. 

However, AFAIU, there is a difference between practical and convenient:
the latter suggests some ease of use that the former doesn't. For
example, the `find' utility is practical, but not what I would call
convenient.

Now, I don't have a strong opinion about it. I just wanted to be
faithful to the developers' words.

Bikeshedding time's over.

So, "Practical" or "convenient", or something different, like:

  "Fully-featured yet unobtrusive image viewer"
