Why is it only Windows and Mac people advocating using Photoshop?
Dick.
If popular means good then I guess you'll accept that IE is the best web browser.
I can do what I need to do in either application (I use them for work too). I just don't find it pleasurable, ever. Both of them piss me off. Unlike, say, Artrage, which is a pleasure to use (not in the same application as PS/GIMP though).
I don't know how much of that is bad design and how much is just the inherent complexity.
I use the easier to use programs for that kinda thing.
I want an editor that supports complex layers, proper masking, all the standard raster and vector tools, decent text tools with leading and kerning, and so on.
As I've pointed out, I keep trying GIMP hoping that someone has come along and made it not shit, but every time I'm disappointed.
I should be more annoyed with Photoshop because it's got a huge team behind it, is Adobe's flagship product, and so on - probably in terms of time/effort/money expended PS is by far the worse piece, but it still doesn't make me as angry as GIMP does when I try to use it.
Because producing Photoshop for Linux probably wont make Adobe money, and that's the only reason they'd do it for.
I'm coming to suspect that it's you who's shit :Y
I'm more wee at the moment.
I tried to draw you an owl, but it didn't come out quite as intended, plus I kinda forgot how they actually look, so it's not wonderful.
I'm gonna go pee now.
