>From web-design perspective being not able to both open and save PSD reliably *right now* means that heterogeneous working environments are not possible. You cannot open a PSD file created by fellow designer, fix some stuff, save and pass it further. No matter how hard you within next several years FXG won't become something everybody uses. And legacy data issue (Hub wrote on that earlier) will still exist. GIMP developers (just like John) have also stated before that they do not want PSD to be used as interchange format. And I bet that Krita developers have same feelings towards their file formats.This is why three years ago we started OpenRaster and have it supported in Krita, GEGL and MyPaint now.
