So your argument is that on the "Software Spectrum" GIMP is not a graphics application but is first a GNOME application. For the people who want, you know, to create GNOME. It just happens to create GNOME using graphics. That's sarcasm of course - you say that primary platform trumps application domain, and GIMP is GNOME because that's where it's hosted; a rather myopic and user-hostile view, IMHO. Most people don't care one whit about GNOME or where GIMP is hosted. They want software that is better than what they currently have, fits the way they work, and is relatively familiar ... which is going to lead down an ugly road. So let me ask you this instead: Are you going to oppose a patch that changes the GIMP shortcut for FG/BG fill to match PhotoShop's on the basis that Backspace does something completely different in GEdit? Or on the basis that GIMP is not a PS clone? Or some other reason? Or would you have no opposition at all?
