Taming the GIMP with KDE window-specific settings

,----[ Quote ]
| There are many window-specific settings that you can change in KDE to tailor 
| the GIMP, or any application. By modifying various settings, you can get GIMP 
| to behave the way you want and better suit your work style. Experiment with 
| the various settings until you get the perfect combination.

Gimp 2.3 (preview of 2.4) 

,----[ Quote ]
| The major change for this release seems to be a big usability 
| overhaul. New defaults are now in place that make the Gimp look 
| a little bit like Photoshop, but still has many features that 
| make it unique.

ingimp: improving the usability of the GIMP by collecting and analyzing usage
data

,----[ Quote ]
| ingimp is an instrumented version of the GNU Image Manipulation Program that 
| collects real-time usability data, such as the commands used, the size of 
| images worked on, and so on. This usability data is automatically transmitted 
| to ingimp for anyone to download and analyze.

Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws

,----[ Quote
| New users of the GIMP often become frustrated at the application's unwieldy 
| user interface. Now Prof. Michael Terry and a group of researchers at the 
| University of Waterloo have created ingimp, a modified version of the GIMP 
| that collects real-time usability data in order to help the GIMP developers 
| find and fix its usability problems.

Linux VS Windows usability.

,----[ Quote ]
| It all boils down to knowing what you are doing. Trying to do anything 
| without the required knowledge is hard and the professionals make everything 
| look easy. I would say that in terms of usability Linux has the upper hand.
