Longing to bin Photoshop? Rock-solid GIMP a major leap forward

Re: Tough Sell

Gimp < 2.9 is utter crap. An incompetently designed ham-fisted image wrecking toy. There is *NO* image processing task it can perform which Photoshop can't do *BETTER* and there are myriad common tasks which Photoshop handles well and Gimp < 2.9 can't do at all.

As a web developer who used Gimp in a professional capacity starting around v1.2 I have to disagree with you. I was actually rather appalled to discover some of the filters and scripts I'd come to rely on in Gimp 2.2 or 2.4 were actually missing from the current version of Photoshop at the time. There were many tasks that I did fairly frequently around that time that were much, MUCH quicker and easier to do in Gimp.
