Luckily for Gimp, so is Photoshop.... but since Photoshop has such an enormous user base and no one ships GimpShop with their major Linux distro, I really think Gimp could still use a much more intuitive interface. I mean, after I spend a couple weeks setting up my keyboard shortcuts and stuff, I'm a whiz with Gimp 2.2. Someone using it every day would be much more so. But you know, I'd still be a whiz after a couple weeks if Gimp had an (optional, because of the ABM crowd) MDI interface, better menu and tool layout, and more intuitive docking of toolboxes and whatnot, and people who use it less often or for the first time wouldn't have as many problems of the sort you've had. User-friendly and newbie-friendly needn't be mutually exclusive; just look at Firefox.
