GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04
kai_hiwatari writes "It looks like the Ubuntu developers consider GIMP to be too powerful for a normal desktop user. They are removing it from the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04. Among the reasons cited are that the UI is too complex, it takes up room on the disc, and 'desktop users just want to edit photos and they can do that in F-Spot.''"
Chained up in the basement.
Everyone photoshops now a days.
I have seen many shops in my time
I can tell by the pixels.
dude, finish your sentence! The suspense is killing me!

TFIFY! :-)
Why is it boarder line stupid?
2.8 is not out yet so the current version is still the one with the not so easy to use interface.
I bet that it will be on the the Add remove menu if not Synaptic so what is the problem?
See my blog http://ilovecookes.blogspot.com/ for light hearted technical information.
Zed: Bring out the Gimp.
Maynard: Gimp's not installed.
Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go apt-get install him now, won't you?
"What is it and where is it?"
Are you sure didn't mean G Spot? :)

What he was trying to say is that once the name changes
Hmm, as an avid KDE user I (logically) first misread the article's head as Gnome dropped. ;)
Now that would improve the user experience.

Your ingenuity of using angle brackets instead of quote tags intrigues me. You must have lots of good ideas.
Oh man, I forgot about Blender. That UI makes GIMP's look like it was designed by Apple.

I look forward to the day when Canonical finally get rid of that pesky Linux thing from their default install. I mean all it does is confuse people who can't run their walmart bought software on it. Die Ubuntu die.
A distribution for those who can't find their ass with both hands.
It would still be faster to download it, Canonical says delivery takes 5-6 wks
The Windows GIMP installer is 16MB if that takes 5 hours to download it would mean it takes 9.11 days to download the full 700MB ISO.
Wow I just realized something if it take 5 hours to download 16MB that is about 7Kb/s. At that rate it take 9.11 days to download 700MB. See the relationship 700, 7, and 9.11.
It means that GWB knew about 9-11. 9-11 was perfectly executed hence the 7, the 700 club is a conservative organization so that means GWB new. Canonical fits in because Linux is a Communist system and they want to found a NWO.
PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES
The kind of girl I could pick up with the line "Hey, I'm really skilled with the GIMP" is probably a pretty scary gal.

GIM is truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly, outrageous!
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
That would explain why it's more difficult than changing a tire to draw a circle in Gimp.

I can't believe you missed the obvious relationship to the shape of a CD and the shape of a UFO... It's much bigger than GWB. It's an alien invasion, but they are trying to make our government look like incompetent boobs so we will welcome our alien overlords as a better alternative to the system we have now.

And your Mom's a CUNT*!
I can't see how you could object to that characterization... after all it says what it does.
