It's only what you're used to.
Unlike most people, I had never used Photoshop before I found the GIMP. Sure, it was quite a steep learning curve at first, but I kept at it. When I try Photoshop now, I'm immediately disgusted at how unintuitive and clumsy (in my opinion) the UI is. I wouldn't mind it if more programs worked the way GIMP does.
And this was GIMP on Windows, mind you, with all the quirks of their pathetic window manager. (I use Linux now of course)
I'm sure that if I had started with Photoshop, my opinions about the two programs would be switched.
