It's a joke, isn't it?
I've been using pysycache for the last year (with previous versions)
with 3 and 4 years old kids, and they learn how to use the right & left
button, or doing drag&drop enjoying, learning how to identify the
numbers even in foreign languages. I've installed it in primary schools,
and it's just a desktop icon for the teacher/student to launch it. Do
you imagine using gimp to do such thing in a classroom with 25 children?

Everything has a target, and when the child finish the activity and a
girl drawing appears saying "You've got it" , he raises his hands
happily. I don't think that's gimp's target.
