I don't think that is the problem. GIMP just needs to improve its interface/usability. Period. Even if the GIMP had a totally different learning curve than PS and other software of the like, if the interface/usability was good, then it will naturally gain acceptance.
They didn't get a real MD5 collision. The authors of that paper got the IV vector endianness wrong on the MD5 algorithm and therefore the algorithm used wasn't MD5. However, the IV vectors don't seem to have any significance on the MD5, so I wouldn't think it'd be hard for them to produce a real collision after fixing up the algorithm.

Agreed. I think the developers should listen to the users needs. Here is my list of what needs to be improved.
I'm not sure about crossover office, but I've run Photoshop under wine before. It works, but lacks support for tablets, which is a big down for me.
