10.04 Good Buddy - Ubuntu Lucid Lynx sighted, gives up the GIMP

| This means that a complex program like The
| GIMP with its large amount of plugins and
| intimidating interface has been shown the
| door. A replacement graphics package has not
| yet been determined.

| I have a suspicion that this demonstrates how
| deeply Mono has become entrenched in Ubuntu.
| Gimp critics like to complain that it's not
| Adobe Photoshop. True, it lacks CMYK support and
| other features essential to producing very high-
| quality professional color prints. For
| everything else it's great, it makes excellent
| Web images and darned good color prints.
|
| How different is Gimp? Not very, I think the
| critics have never touched it. Virtually all
| image editing programs have similar toolsets,
| the brush, pencil, airbrush, bucket fill, crop,
| eraser, fonts, and so on. Higher-end ones
| support layers and bales of plugins and add-ons.
| I think what the critics really want is
| Photoshop for free just because it is expensive,
| like the trendy folks who only wear brand-name
| apparel with high price tags. Like paying more
| makes those denim jeans that came out of the
| same factories as the cheap ones wear better. At
| any rate anyone who has touched a decent image
| editing/paint program before will do fine in
| Gimp, and someone who has never used one has
| some learning to do. Requiring a user of a
| product to learn anything seems to be a criminal
| offense anymore.
