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 dragdrop 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.
