That does not make GIMP inferior, but > artists are not geeks (not tech geeks, to be correct.). It's not. Its point and click in GIMP. In fact we find GIMP much more easier and faster than Photoshop. There is a huge set of options available under filter. We even use GIMP to create generic animations.
Not to mention the cost, then we don't use non-free platforms so no question of Photoshop either way. > But what is it that firefox would do that is not already done with > other browsers? And when was the last time we did anything out of the > ordinary with firefox (or IE or chrome)? Same with GIMP. What is there than photoshop can do but GIMP can't. If you are a poweruser and know PS, then only you will be able to use full power of GIMP. I repeat we use GIMP for everything. And non of of designers are coder or programmers. Also, its more about FREEDOM than anything else, we are willing to go extra mile to stay free from clutches of coprorates like Adobe. Use GIMP, learn and be free. That's what matters in the end.
