The GIMP is an Open Source application that isn't trying to be merely a clone of some popular proprietary piece of software. ``It doesn't look like Photoshop! I'd switch but I'm used to Photoshop. So make the GIMP look just like Photoshop!'' I wish to hell these folks would grow up and embrace the software for what it is. And not swing brickbats for what it isn't.
If they have a good technical reason for why they don't use the GIMP, then that's fine. There are some of those (well documented elsewhere) and working on those would be a much, much better use of the developer's time and effort. If anyone feels a need to gripe about those the developers not addressing those issues, more power to yah. But these ``change the GIMP so it looks more like Photoshop'' articles are annoying and misguided.
