 no, I ask a perfectly civil question and instead I get a bunch of people 
telling me that I should be using Gimp instead.
 I've no doubt that my nieces can learn to use Gimp, which is why it's on 
there; but I'd like to demonstrate that OpenSource can provide more options 
than Windows, *not* less. You do look like a TROLL searching for threads to 
cause trouble in. If you knew anything about the Graphics applications 
market then you would know that there is actually a shortage of good 
X-Windows bitmap image softwear  - ironically probably due to Gimp 
intimidating anyone from starting a fresh project.

 One of the many things that would be cool would be if one of those people 
I'm speculating got scared away instead realised in time that the Gimp 
engine is available as a library and they could just build their own UI to 
it, and add whatever extra features they have have in mind. - everything I 
& many others love, re-use of mature code, different & fresh UI concepts.
