Some of the comments are actually quite useful. IMO it is easy to tell which users do actually use GIMP or other image editing applications - they are the ones who are able to name advantages and disadvantages of each app beyond general statements. Some is just flamebait, but this has to be expected on public forums, I guess. Some of the disadvantages of current GIMP versions are going to be addressed in 2.4, but the discussion clearly demonstrates that the plans for it (or even the current state of the 2.3 releases) is not known to the general public. It would be nice to have more than the NEWS file to tell about new features - an overview with examples, but as anything else this needs a) time and b) someone to do it (volunteers)? Karine Delvare has taken on the responsiblity to provide a more readable news feed (seen at http://developer.gimp.org/), but it is still too textual (Karine, please do not think that I don't value your work). Others are spreading the news as well in articles, mailing lists, forums, ..., but this about all we've got on gimp.org Personally, the most interesting fact for me in this discussion is that finally the "GIMP is not a clone of Photoshop" is getting across - the GIMP developers did never claim this themselves, people just want (or demand :) it to be.
