I don't understand what is so bad about the GIMP interface, or what
makes it a hackers interface. Personally, I find the GIMP intuitive and
fast, it probably could be better but what couldn't? I use Photoshop a
lot on our DTP machine (has a scanner - my laptop doesnt) and I feel
like I have a hand tied behind my back.
Guess it's just a matter of what you're used to.
Cheers,
Craige.
