My complaint is with the "better, faster, easier to use" bit. I personally don't find GIMP to be better, faster or easier to use than Photoshop. Some but definitely not all of that certainly has to do with years of using one over the other. Also, I haven't used the most recent GIMP but then again, I haven't used the most recent Photoshop, either. In my view GIMP is playing catch-up. I could make do with GIMP only but I'd be making do. -- Henry
