    This isn't really breaking news: GIMP 2.4 was installed on my Debian sid machine along with yesterday's update.

    Wow, you can have the tools on one monitor and the image on another!!!

    It's JUST LIKE PHOTOSHOP!

    I guess Photoshop makes more sense on XWindows too then eh?

    Seriously, don't bash software if you've never used it and don't have a clue about it. Photoshop already has the feature that you say makes your app superior.

    Mod this yahoo down.

    Doesn't work quite like that, a rediculously vast majority of the worlds population doesn't give a rats ass about photo editing programs. Of the ones who are left that do car I think you will find a majority of them live in the USA where the US law does matter regardless of how silly you think it is.
