It was countless times announced by developers in this and other mailing lists that they do wish to improve GUI of GIMP, but that they don't want to clone PS. Sven wrote a special posting about it in his blog recently. All of this is publicly available information, cached by Google. Do you think GIMP needs a full-time employee to talk to every single person who doesn't want to read what is already written and listen to what he is told? ;-) To put an end to this dejavu-making thread I suggest extending http://www.gimp.org/about/introduction.html with the following text, originated from Gnumeric's description at gnomefiles.org: "GIMP is intended to be a powerful innovative tool, not a drop-in replacement to any of existing proprietary software. We are not attempting to clone existing applications." That said, I'm quitting reasoning anyone who starts this old good "gimme PS-like GUI" here. Sorry for any inconveniences whatsoever.
