The problem is that newbies like me don't know about LPhoto or DigiKam, whereas Gimp is installed on most Linux boxes by default, LPhoto isn't. Maybe the Gimp wasn't designed for photo manipulation, but it should have those capabilities built in. Lots of graphics manipulation involves things like red-eye reduction before you get on to moving parts of the photo around and doing advanced functions. People expect the Gimp to be a replacement for Photoshop and I think the Gimp should aspire to it, rather than simply saying, that isn't our task.
