The biggest changes...

- It uses GTK2.
- It is officially supported on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Now if only I could figure out how to use it. (I have no graphics experience whatsoever. ;) )

Re:Photoshop still rocks it

Yeah, it's infinite, really. Even if it sucked, the ratio would still be awesome [some value greater that 0] (usability) : 0 (cost)

Unix-based

[mah!]

officially supported not only on Unix-based operating systems, but also on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh OS X

Mac OS X is, ahem, Unix-based, unlike that other thing you mentioned.

Re:It's pretty good!

I didn't even know JSAC's Paint Shop Pro still existed until one of my friends started talking about how great it is (compared to Photoshop) a few months ago.

So that's at least 1 person.

It's all swell and shit, but

Where did 16-bit color modes go? 8 bit is just ain't enough for digital photography anymore.

Gimp site down?

Is this th work of th people who h4x0r'd GNOME.org, or did we just /. something big? That aside, I have been using gimp 2.0pre4 for some time(and shall go to 2.0 as soon as gimp.org is back up), it is prettier and much more sane, whilst retaining all th GIMP-a-licious goodness of 1.2.x
