I spent 10 years learning photoshop, and it took me an annoying one month
to get the hang of GIMP. I kept expecting it to work EXACTLY the same as
photoshop.

This thread made me wonder: If people were brought up on Gnu/Linux the way
most people are brought up on Windows, would they then find linux really
easy, and Windows counter-intuitive and confusing? Is it simply what you
learn first that defines what you find easy?
