I beg to differ. The GIMP has been packing many functions and bits of fine
granularity and formed higher-level Script-Fus and user-friendly GUI's such
as Lens Flare, The Gimpressionist, and so forth. It is all an evolutionary
process and as the GIMP reaches the mediocre user, the community caters for
simplifications. GIMPShop, which now has a home, goes as far as cloning the
Photoshop exterior.
