I agree that the Gimp's UI is confusing, but I don't have years of Photoshop muscle memory to relearn.

Krita is more usable and closer to Photoshop, but it is still immature.

I really tried liking it, but ultimately failed. It might have all the capabilities of Photoshop - and euro for euro probably the better bang for the buck-deal - but IMHO it still lacks in useability.<br /><br />True, my having worked with PS since forever is to blame, but it's still fact... I spent hours in frustration trying to find the buttons/menus to do the simplest of tasks in the Gimp, but finally just gave up and returned to Photoshop. Hi Iain.
