I really would like to like Gimp
I am already a fan of Ubuntu, currently strongly considering to buy a cheap laptop to run it exclusively on a machine. I’m mainly using this popular Linux platform to code The Music Tank updates. Setting up Subversion, MySql and PHP is mainly just a click away and that’s just enough to keep my short attention span from straying away.
The main Linux image editing software equivalent of Photoshop is called Gimp, which a lot of people already use. I’d like to be one of them too, may it only be to have all my web design related software at the same place, but they are making it very hard.
The thing is, at the moment Gimp is very unintuitive when you switch from Photshop. I read some people (some from Quebec I think!) are working on a new user interface for it. Hopefully the project will go forth because a new GUI would help a lot.
For starters, it wouldn’t take much more than using modal windows… Having to go through the taskbar in search of your color palette panel is really frustrating.
I am, however, keeping an open mind on Gimp.
