It's annoying they advertised it with "there's no reason to use photoshop anymore" (when Gimp2 came out), when Gimp itself is nothing more than a GPL version of Paint Shop Pro. That's like comparing an expensive bike with shinkansen, in front of those who have only seen shinkansen on TV but never had a ride before.

As for reasons TO use Gimp, I could think of many. And the UI <em>has</em> improved a lot with the 2.0 versions. This <a href="http://www.relevantive.de/gimp/report/results_usabilitytest_05.04.html" rel="nofollow">link</a> is kind of related and interesting. I really like your idea of mentioning things you've learned/done. And those FFox tips are useful! I bet most people don't know at least a couple really useful/basic shortcuts. I didn't know what you mentioned in this post, and am glad I now do! I love character animation. I like art in general, but animation is just SO COOL. ... I think I heard my tablet laugh at me. did someone mention the Gimp? :)
