;) indeed funny problem ... I remember the time when Adobe Photoshop was not better than Corel Photopaint and Illustrator was way below Corel Draw (around Corel Suite 6) - then companring the perfect logic (and very flexible) GUI from Corel Suite (not to mention general app. settings full of option versus Photoshop), yes Photoshop and Illustrator looks very user unfriendly in terms of GUI. About "user friendly" GIMP >> well any software has it's own visual logic. For use a program like GIMP, users will have to adapt or they will leave. Is so simple. The most important thing is the whole set of features. Coming from Photopaint, Draw, Adobe - I've adapted myself to GIMP in 2 or 3 days,I think that "user friendly" is a false problem May be a problem of that user which can't adapt to a GUI with icons for on-screen-tools and a menu with quite clear descriptive names of functions / features. So where is in fact the "unfriendly user friendly" problem ? .. btw: garbageware sounds funny too >> in one of my trips in China ,, some friends from a partner company (Shenzhen Lady Commodity) asked me to help them with a poster for a factory ..5.50m / 3.50m. The only computer available was a dual core duo with 4gb or RAM and a video card ATI Radeon HD 5570 with 1GB DDR3 ..believe me or not, Photoshop under Windows crashed constantly yelling about the lack of memory, same for Illustrator. The only solution was to install Ubuntu on a new harddrive and all was done with GIMP ...slowly for each image operation, but at least no crashes - the final file was about 2GB. Many young padawans will trow words against GIMP until the end of time so we will love to read such amusing discussions for some time from now .. 2 beers or not to beer ? - this is the real question. 2016-03-30 21:10 GMT+03:00 C R <cajhne@xxxxxxxxx>: > > > > I decided against sugarcoating for a reason: this is exactly what > > unhappy users tell us.
