The reality is somewhat different from your limited view. > while the professional user Anybody involved professionally or "semi-professionally" with _photography_ will not touch GIMP with a ten foot pole for that simple reason that GIMP is using 8-bit colour. Nothing particular about vagaries of a user interface. This is not a snobbery. For a serious manipulation of photographs, especially raw files, 8 bits is definitely not enough. Even if GIMP will eventually get a deeper colour I am afraid that this damage is already done and not likely reversible. > is likely to be designing the graphics for an entire website from > scratch Websites can be filled with impunity with all kind of graphics junk. I am not sure what this has to do with complaints from Karel but apparently some like it one way and some other. Still GIMP is supposed to be scriptable. Gratituous changes likely to break an untold number of accumulated scripts do not sound like a sane idea.
