Well I did the only smart thing and loaded the GIMP up to see for myself. My basic assessment is: don't venture down this path if you think you might possibly consider migrating to an Adobe product some time in the future. The interface and operation is so different that it would be like learning from scratch again. Adobe family products behave much the same way so anyone considering PS in their futures would be wise to stick with Adobe elements. Colour management (or the lack thereof) is the other very pertinent consideration, there is none, unless you are working in a closed system this will pose a problem. It might be a great (if not the only) option for non- Windows/Mac OS platforms but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it as a photo editing tool for dedicated photographers. I'll play with it over the next few days but I don't expect I'll warm to it any. Just my biased opinion.
