Yes, this is true. But in another hand, I think that it is better to explain how to use a tool instead of telling him "just click here, here and here, and that's it". If you know how to use tools such curves or level, and really know how they work, then you will be able to use either Gimp, Photoshop or whaterver soft you want. If someone really want to use Gimp, he will find the menu. If gimpshop can help to migrate from Photoshop, this is OK. And if Gimp gives choice to arrange menus, this is great. Each one can choose the best solution for him. And even if he ask for the place of a tool, there will be some other people using the same skin to help him.
