Actually, I'm on Linux, and I don't see the file size listed either. I don't personally care much, because I know that GIMP is damn small compared to most high-powered graphics applications, but still I can see that some folks may care the first time they download from the website. If anything, the file size should be listed as a benefit to using GIMP. :) > It would also be nice if people could see good reasons not to comment, > as one user has posted online (I think at answers.yahoo.com), that GIMP > is "not as good as Photoshop". We're not anti-Photoshop, we are pro-GIMP. :) People can have their opinions, and we should either cheerfully accept them, or post friendly suggestions on how to do the Photoshop-like things they desire in GIMP to convince them otherwise. I've found that anything else would be a waste of (everyone's) time. For some, nothing but Photoshop will work for their graphics needs. It's no use arguing with them, because they have already made up their mind, and it's more important to think they are correct than it is to learn new things and expand your graphics tool-set. However if you can post a tutorial or links to show how the same effects can be done in GIMP, it will go a long way to get others around to seeing what an excellent tool GIMP is for pro-grade graphics work.
