And mine: I've never used photoshop, so I have no idea what its UI might have that I would like. The point is, I am *used* to the gimp UI, flawed or not. If, for some strange reason, I were to find myself forced to use photoshop, I'm sure I'd be grumbling because it didn't act like the gimp. From a user's perspective, there is nothing more irritating than to have a familiar interface suddenly undergo drastic changes. So please consider verrrrry carefully before performing major surgery on it. As to tabbed image-windows, which was mentioned in the discussion, that is easily-achievable with the gimp in fluxbox.
