About nine months after version 2.0 hit the road, we have completed another development cycle and can bring a new stable GIMP to our users' desktops.'"

    "It is advised that you uninstall GIMP 2.0 before installing GIMP 2.2"

    Why can't it just replace it?

    Because stuff changes, I know. I just wish the world were perfect. There are bound to be filename differences, but at least there aren't a bunch of stray registry entries hanging around.

    You can go back on topic now.

    Great.. now we get to use that awesome new save dialog! I couldn't stand being able to choose the dir to save in easily... Reduced usability is fun!

    And the amazing new open dialog... After all, being able to type in the name of the file or dir you'd like to see is lame. Text input boxes are soooooo 1990s!

    Now if only they'd replace these text inputs on /. so that I can type everything out with my mouse... The ultimate in usability.

    *GAG*
