No, but this doesn't negate the idea that the UI is the most important part. If GIMP didn't have it's UI, it would instead be something like ImageMagick. Since people mainly use GIMP in a way that is incompatible with ImageMagick, it's reasonable to conclude that the most significant part of GIMP is it's UI. > Right also. > But once again what in here prevented the designers from creating two tools?

I'm not losing any time, though you often don't seem to understand; whether this is because of a language barrier or simply your own insistence on having a different conversation from everyone else participating in this discussion, I don't know; but be assured that any time wasted, is not mine. >> I can quote Sven as saying that the majority of code in GIMP deals with >> UI, >> and my own investigation of GIMP code confirms this. > I did not investigate, so I'll rely on you, and I can understand this very > well. > But it doesn't make the UI any more important.
