    I agree that the biggest problem GIMP has for widespread acceptance is the name. Frankly, it has labored without the benefit clever self recursion for far too long!

    So, in the interest of its long term viablility, I formally propose a name change:

    GIMP Isn't Microsoft Paint

    will, I believe, catapult GIMP onto desktops around the world.

    Does it have anything over Photoshop in terms of Functionality or Ease of USe?

    Yes, the GIMP supports the does-not-get-russian-programmers-unfairly-arrested plugin.
