Most of the complaints I have ever heard of stem around the use of child windows. If you come from Windows, you don't have true multiple desktops, so using a one window application makes sense there. But in Linux where most DE's and window managers have mulitiple desktops, The Gimps interface works better. You can send the project window to one desktop, and the toolbars to another. When I have it this way, I have all the child windows open and the project maximized, and none of the windows interfer with eachother. You cannot do this in Photoshop, at all. But now that I'm used to that feature of the Gimp, I really hate that lack in Photoshop.
That said, I'm starting to use Krita and it's GOOD. Not nearly as powerful but it has a great interface and it's nice and light weight. I use it now about 75% of the time. The best part is I seeing rivaling The Gimp in short order.
