It becomes more usable if you can learn the shortcuts. For simple tasks I can now work on it as fast as I used to do on other softwares. :)
theres no use using GIMP on windows , paint.NET with all plugins loaded is much more easier and powerful and in linux pixel is much better though obviously it aint free but i still feel its better than using GIMP
umm i cannot do stuff in gimp which i can do in ps. that is the reason why i decided to go for a readymade template on tw.com.
as for gimpshop. i know about it but i think it has not been updated in ages.
there were some posts on digg which shows about a possible project to bring a new UI for GIMP. not sure how it would go ahead.
i had still prefer paint.net over gimp.
What do you use GIMP for? How does it compare to Adobe's Photoshop? FYI, there is a "port" of GIMP called GIMPshop which is supposed to mimic Photoshop's look and feel although I'm not sure if it's for Windows only... :)
