Alienating Photoshop users is an entirely different subject, not

case. Photoshop users will not and have no reason to change. They are
happy with their expensive image manipulation software.
There are millions of new users out there who do not want photoshop
and it is those who need to be told about Gimp. They will learn multi
window quickly.
Tallies with my feelings... I've tried Photoshop, and absolutely hated
the way it worked. When it comes to software, I want an alternative,
not a clone. Generally speaking, I chose alternatives because I want
something that works differently, cost isn't the main concern, except
for ridiculously expensive software.
This is a matter of preference. I don't know Photoshop, but I suspect it
has
a steep learning curve, like AutoCAD. I would not like to have to learn a
new paradigm to do cad work--as one must with the foss clones--and
I'm sure that most Photoshop users would just as soon keep their skills
and use them on a Linux picture editor. It's different, of course, for
those who are new to the type of software involved, and I have nothing
against GIMP--I use it myself on occasion, but only in a very basic way.
