It may just be the interface, but in my opinion PS 7.0 is a better
package with better color management on a PC than even the latest
version of The Gimp. Yes, Photoshop is expensive and no version of CS
will install on my OS of choice, (though it looks more and more that
I'll have to byte the bullet so to speak), but I'd not say that the Gimp
compares to Photoshop until I actually tried Photoshop...

Photoshop or Lightroom would sure be nice, though. Oh, well.
Ur, why?
So far as I can tell, between ufraw and (gimp|cinepaint) there isn't
actually anything *missing*, and the core things -- like unsharp mask --
work really well.
This may be my lack of experience with either photoshop or lightroom
talking, but they're not cheap, have weird upgrade issues when new
cameras come out, and just generally don't strike me as essential.
