The main advantage of dual monitor support
We've already been discussing that on this ML, I think everything that had to be said has been said. Tuomo only says three things which are in essence, these : - I won't support Xinerama - Development on ion3 is coming to an end anyway - I won't answer to questions that I am not responsible for However he certainly is OK with people using ion3 for whatever purpose they want and any hacks in the code they want (support of antialiasing or Xinerama for instance) provided you don't bother him with that.

GIMP/Photoshop is a matter of personal preference (and money), but using Gimp under ion3 is really fantastic. That's also a matter of presonal preference but I think : - combinating GIMP's shortcuts if you know/like them, and ion's shortcuts for window management, is super-comfortable - using winprops to position this annoying GIMP tool preferences away from your drawing frame is cool - switching from windowed to fullscreen mode is easy Which in the end makes your mouse used only for the graphic art stuff and eliminates useless and time-eating movements back and forth the applications' options.
