The interface is actually quite improved in the recent versions, and it can easily be made better.
No - what absolutely AMAZES me is that the GIMP team seems to be out of touch with what the basic users want. On example, GIMP comes with plenty of fancy scritps but does sill not have THE tool which all newbies (and not so newbies) want:
* redeye removal
Yes, I know, you can use various tricks, tutorials and tools to eventually remove redeye, but who wants to go through that?!
I realize that redeye removal is not the ultimae pinnacle of image manipulation, there are plenty of more important things and tools, but by *NOT* having a simple, "one-click", redeye removal tool GIMP sends the wrong message to newbies and to everybody else.
So here is my suggestion: let's get the GIMP development team to post a survey of what *USERS* most want and get them to pay more attention to the rest of the community.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
nevermind the interface!
