GIMP 2.2 Released
wongn writes "Several weeks since the splash screen contest was first announced, the latest milestone release for GIMP has come about - GIMP 2.2.0 has just been officially released. Only the linux binaries and source have yet appeared. From the website: 'The GIMP developers are proud to announce the availability of version 2.2.0 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program. 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.'"
I mean...Photoshop is a lot lot better. Bring on the flamebait.

I am what most people would consider a highly trained technical professional. Unlike most people who spout off at this site, I have the certificates to prove this, and furthermore they're issued by the biggest software company in existence.
I know how to tell facts from marketing fluff. Now, here are the facts as they're found by SEVERAL INDEPENDENT RESEARCH INSTITUTES:
Expenses for file-server workloads under Windows, compared to LinuxOS:
They compared Microsofts IIS to the Linux 7.0 webserver. For Windows, the cost was only:
Application development and support costs for Windows compared to an opensores solution like J2EE:
A full Windows installation, compared to installing Linux, on an Enterprise Server boxen:
Compared to the best known opensores webserver "Red Hat", Microsoft IIS:
These are hard numbers and 100% FACTS! There are several more where these came from.
Who do you think we professionals trust more?
Reliable companies with tried and tested products, or that bedroom coder Thorwaldes who publicly admits that he is in fact A HACKER???

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.
Raise your children as if you were teaching them to raise your grandchildren, because you are.
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!
/. so that I can type everything out with my mouse... The ultimate in usability.
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
*GAG*
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
But can you fucking typeahead a whole fucking directory name? And will the typeahead cut out if you pause for a few seconds and start at the beginning again? With no indication of when this will happen?
Sure, there's an obscure key-combo to let you do that. But why shouldn't I just be able to use the old dialog, which actually did what I fucking wanted it to?
These idiots think they can improve on the basic file interface which has been standard for years? Well, they fucking can't.
"its".
No, "it's"
