I use GIMP 2 a lot, and only have 3 windows open! Why do people seem to think that you need to have many windows? I use one dock with a series of tabs - works great.
My Photoshop experience is limited, and I found that when I went to use it in work I was very lost - I couldn't do half the things I could in GIMP. What I'm trying to say is that the UI is something you get used to, and I know GIMP.
Gimp 1 was a no-go for me, it wasn't easy to look at not to mention use, however GIMP 2 has provided a very useful and powerful tool for the OSS community.
GIMP does all I need it to do, and I enjoy using it, I do however use it in it's native setting of GNOME.
It may not be photoshop (Though I can get more out of it that PS) but for me the UI is great and the features are just fine.
Surely if it does all I need it to do and I like using it why pay a shit load for something else.
I'm fed up of reading the same old bullshit...
No examples or solid reasoning given, no real fair comparisons just crap!
When I find the time I will write a half decent reply to a lot of this crap.
Redhat security updates are available for free via their ftp server - the service you pay for is the uptodate service which implements these updates.
A free way of achieving the same this is to use "apt for rpm" which will implement the very same update at no charge.
