whee!
you fail to be specific at how it rules
it is better
With the new dockable tabs and the improved interface, I am finally switching from PS to Gimp. w00t!

Well, I had a small problem (in case you haven’t noticed a post of mine a couple of days ago…), making gimp-2.0 to work with xsane and my scanner, but I fixed it really easily and now I think I can tell for sure that gimp-2.0 really rocks…
Great improvement on the interface and the way it handles text and fonts is really impressive, compared ofcourse with the previous 1.2.x and 1.3 versions…
Above all, from now on, not only it can open photoshop’s .psd files, but it can also save in that file format (there was a plugin which could do this job for previous versions, but it wasn’t part of the official plugins “collection” and was considered rather unstable…), which makes the “transition” from PS to GIMP, a little bit “easier”… 
Very impressive work indeed…
whoops, forgot specifics 
the dockable interface kicks ass, and it’s a lot easier to use. Hadn’t noticed the text (haven’t used it yet)
/me goes off to try out text
Definetely an improvement, but even PS 6 is still miles ahead.
It’s sooo good that it crashes before it even starts!
WOOOO!
I don’t like it that when I open a big picture and click on it and all of the tool bars are disappearing behind it. It’s annoying and maybe the only reason I don’t use gimp.
i fail to use anything on my computer other than school, and blender, and internet explorer of course. so for me, GIMP is out of the subject
I wish I had Linux so I could use GIMP, every one says that GIMP sux on Windows
ummmmmm
well gimp on windows vs gimp on linux as far as my experience goes are exactly the same.
however currently the gimp version 2.0 doesn’t even start on most peoples windows boxes. and Gimp.org doesn’t supply windows binarys themselves (they do link ot 3rd partys that do)
so really the only difference is that people know it will work on linux.

Works fine on my (TEMPORARY I HATE WIN :< ) windows XP box. dunno what your problem is…
Better watch out. Linux geeks might reject you from interacting with the infidel OS.
You are a Windows user. Congratulations.
yeah, macs have always been better

I used to despise Macs and I still dislike them for home use, but there’s nothing like a good 'ol iMac at my school to troubleshoot compared to the possesed boxes running Windows.
Has anyone tried it with a wacom tablet?
I tried my tablet with Photoshop, and found the response time really depressing. If I tried to draw a fast curve it would be broken up into straight segments. Does Gimp 2 behave better?
hmm, I didn’t have response time issues with brushes on either- perhaps you are using very large textured brushes.
btw, I keep hearing that tablet support in gimp for windows doesn’t work. True?
misterbone: Brush lag happens because of your machine being not fast enough, not the proggy (well if the proggy takes less RAM that might help.)
