I completely agree with this. Probably docking palettes or something like this would be all that is needed to make people feel comfortable with the interface. > 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.

What is really missing is someone who listens carefully and tries to accomodate users' needs. Users probably don't need a Photoshop clone; as has been pointed out elsewhere in the thread, Photoshop changes regularly so it's a moving target. But if 100 users tell you something, then there is probably a need; they probably would appreciate a different interface which does not need a desktop all for itself. I know I would; at home on my SUSE I can spare a desktop, at work on Windows I can't. Please, please think that these same people are honestly trying to help. They take the trouble to write to a mailing list full of strangers and put out a suggestion which is usually new for them. Thanks for your time, we appreciate your efforts. Just be patient with us people.
