    The .xcf file compressed with bzip2 is 22.6 Mbytes! Uncompressed it's over 35 Mbytes. And people wonder why professionals stick with tools that work instead of moving to the GIMP

    It's called the "GNU Image Manipulation Program", the name is even more specific than Photoshop. I think that the developers should do a special 1 off release named "Get over it or suck cock you whining losers", in recognition of retards like you.

    There's a long history of self-righteous people complaining about the naming of the GIMP or Mozilla's libPr0n. It is possible you are not one of these cocksuckers but I chose not to give you the benefit of the doubt because your post reads like a troll. Short of asking Microsoft to rename "Exel" to "MS Spreadsheet", "Powerpoint" to "MS Presentation" and "Windows" to the catchy "Computer operating system with a Windowing Graphical User Interface"; I still fail to see your point.

    I admire the way you took to supposed high-ground with your response, only a cocksucker would use that tactic to shift the focus away from an argument that had just been so completely blown out of the water. Yes I am elitist, deal with it!

    After 10 years GIMP still sux and this horrible splash reveal that no one with decent skill use it. Open source is great, when programmers make software that only programmers will use.

    No wonder all the professionals still use Photoshop.

    I'm not trolling, I love Free Software and have a soft spot for the GIMP especially, but this says a lot about the user base.

    NOTE: When you have to follow your post with a disclaimer about how you're not trolling, love free software, and like the Gimp, you (a) are too, (b) do not, and (c) are full of it.
