Well you would need to "Sharpen" the RAW image, JPG's are normally sharpened in camera but not so with RAW. In fact even most JPG images could benefit from some sharpening.

And yes, the user does have to care about it even in Windows, try writing a large file to the device and then immediately yank it out, fun eh?

FUD your conclusion is only valid for yourself and not others so your statement is false. You can't speak for me and I don't agree with you so... If you can provide hard data that backs this up with numbers well that might be a different story but it would have to be global figures.

Imagine a new user hearing a solution to their question answered in a Photoshop way and then going to the GIMP and finding out it doesn't work. Please do not confuse these two DIFFERENT projects.

Took me exactly 5 seconds to search "gimp name change" in Google and guess what I found?

[Gimp-user] Wow Linux Journal not very enamoured with GIMP.
The latest Linux Journal sure doesn't have much good to say about GIMP (Deep Images). Talks about it being a dinosaur and being left behind by the likes of Cinepaint, Krita and Pixel. Sure hope there isn't a GIMP 2.6 but rather it moves to GIMP 3.0 based on GEGL with a UI revamp. I kind of like the GIMP but I do agree with some of the things said about it in the article. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I use this all the time and it is a pain not being able to do this. Not just in the image but anywhere on the screen.

Only the person who utters a phrase, let me say that again "THE PERSON WHO UTTERS A PHRASE" in a derogatory manor is the real issue here. Words mean nothing until hey are said in a derogatory manor. GIMP means nothing to anyone until the person saying it gives it meaning. We mean it to be a graphics program.
