GIMP’s major UI revamp
,----[ Quote ]
| GIMP is well known as a powerful application, and especially in the last few
| years has gained a rather large community of users. There’s also a large
| group of people for whom GIMP would be their tool of choice, if it had the
| same kind of attention to user interface as Inkscape, GNOME, Firefox and
| other modern Open Source apps.

,----[ Quote
| New users of the GIMP often become frustrated at the application's unwieldy
| user interface. Now Prof. Michael Terry and a group of researchers at the
| University of Waterloo have created ingimp, a modified version of the GIMP
| that collects real-time usability data in order to help the GIMP developers
| find and fix its usability problems.

Linux VS Windows usability.

| It all boils down to knowing what you are doing. Trying to do anything
| without the required knowledge is hard and the professionals make everything
| look easy. I would say that in terms of usability Linux has the upper hand.

Gimp 2.3 (preview of 2.4)
,----[ Quote ]
| The major change for this release seems to be a big usability
| overhaul. New defaults are now in place that make the Gimp look
| a little bit like Photoshop, but still has many features that
| make it unique.
