Photoshop tops most wanted linux app list
Novel is conducting a survey on what apps people need to move their desktops from Windows to Linux. The results as on Feb 3, 2006 revealed that the number 1 application that most people wanted, to port their desktops to Linux is ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. Which indirectly means that GIMP, as i have always felt, is not worth the buzz. It always looked like a lightweight tool such as irfanview (i know the difference between these tools, am not degrading gimp to the level of a screencapture tool, but am saying it from the point-of-view that gimp opens multiple screens, doesnt occupy the full screen and doesnt give an app like feel, it stays on any corner of your screen and behaves like a tiny tool. Photoshop on the other hand looks big.). Anyway with this survey report the GIMP team is sure on the anvil to deliver goods and we may expect something more on the 2.4 update.
