Ever since Chrome came out with a usable Linux build, I've yet to look back.

On a regular basis? Linux/Xubuntu and FreeBSD, although I have tons of Virtual Machines that I deal with semi-regularly.

The argument that GIMP was unusuable because of its multi-window layout is not only wrong, it brings into question the intelligence of someone who would make such a statement.

Photoshop for OS X has ALWAYS had a multiwindow layout.

It's not your application that's the problem, it's your argument.

Sounds like an OS or preference issue to me.

Also, if you use a window manager without a taskbar doesn't that too "address" the "issue"? Thankfully this new UI can be disabled.

*shrug*

I can't account for what windows users experience. I can only equate running Gimp on Windows to running Photoshop with Wine.

Why would I expect the average Gimp user to be a Windows user?

I think it's only fair to judge an application for its native environment. I had Microsoft Excel 2007 wig out and completely refuse to produce a usable graph on Linux the other day, turns out it was the wine layer which caused it. Ran it within an XP virtual machine and worked fine.

See where I'm going with this?

Technically you're right, technically you're also wrong.

Wine provides a drop-in solution to natively use the win32 API, it does the port without a port being necessary. That's why the Linux version of Picasa uses it.

Also, the behavior on Linux depends on the Window Manager you use.

Wow, that's kind of a weird statement to say, especially considering the huge amount of legacy code in Photoshop.

1) Gimp was almost completely re-written for the 2.x GTK2 port, so much of the code is actually brand new and quite easy to hack on.
2) On the other hand, Photoshop's code is decades old and the behemoth of old code is what has prevented a proper Linux port, one might even be impossible at this point.

All the "issues" you've addressed, I put issue in quotes because they're personal UI opinions, can be address with a fairly basic understand of the GTK2 API.

I never said there was an API limitation, at all. I said it only takes a basic understanding OF it to address the "issues".

Secondly, GTK is only the "gimp" toolkit in name now, just as the GNU foundation has almost nothing to do with Gimp anymore. The G in GTK has more to do with GNOME than Gimp, really.

This dates back to NT 3.1 if I remember right..

Security through obscurity.. not always the best method.

1) Conservatives. Not even Republicans, just.. conservatives.
2) Online job applications.

A little bit of both. I have a pretty positive view of limited socialism.

Liberal spending != Deficit spending and/or irresponsible spending.

@Terra

I agree with you completely. I hate web apps and miss the day when the internet just worked and didn't cause my web browser to require more ram than Bioshock 2.

Kas,

GTK has been ported to OS X natively now. As far as I know newer versions of GIMP have no X11 requirement.
