Are they aware of the psmenurc which can be used to give photoshop like keybindings? I find it very useful but unfortunately there is no way to set this in the user interface which is probably enough to guarantee most users never discover it (I've added similar comments to a few bug reports over the years). There are a few other extension and plugins which can help smooth the transition. Instead of all those "Versus" articles it would be nice if a journalist could for a change write about similarities and what functionality most closely corresponds to what they are expecting which might help users to adapt. (Although like others I'd prefer if users didn't have to adapt quite so much and if more changes were made to meet peoples expectations unless there was a specific reasons not to accept changes.)
