You are making the wrong assumption here that GIMP would want to challenge PS. It doesn't, that's not how Free Software works. GIMP has different goals than Photoshop and instead of concentrating on being as similar to Photoshop as possible, our feature set and user interface will in the future diverge even further from Photoshop. Simply because we have a different vision for what GIMP should become and because we believe that this vision is a lot more interesting than trying to compete with a commercial product. As soon as GIMP 2.4 is released, we will start to integrate GEGL to the GIMP core and our plans for an image manipulation program based on GEGL go way beyond what Photoshop offers. Feel free to continue your discussion here. But seriously, I don't understand who you are trying to address here. This is the GIMP user mailing-list. If you really wanted a constructive discussion about the future of GIMP, then you would introduce yourself on the gimp-developer list. And you would do this by first telling us who you are and what contributions you have to offer.
