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.
the most frustrating design flaw of photoshop is that you cant really right click on things. everything is a right click away in gimp and have the menu now on the windows is a little annoying and too photoshop like for my liking.
having said that i love enlightenment because it is free of annoying garbage filling sides of your screen, such as docks, and task bars and whatever names people can come up with. ahh to just left right and middle click on things. the bliss.
having said that i run windows, macosx, linux, freebsd and openbsd. i would have to say macosx is by far the better interface over windows.
i never found macos very confusing, but my OS roots are in msdos.
gimp does need to get its head in the game in the color department. design people love to have their colors spot on. however, its not like kinkos has ever actually produced the color i wanted. we always went back and spend $16/h on their wretchid machines tinkering with colors to get them to look 'closer' to what we wanted.
however lets not get into printing solutions...
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?
