Just had a look at the GIMP 3.0 milestones page and saw this.

Am I missing anything or is GIMP 3.0 actually going to be released soon?!

Oh that's good! Thanks for laying that out for me. And, please, don't take what I say as bashing the one guy who's working on this (at least I hear it's only one person). I think for a single person it's incredible what they've gotten to, and I salute them for that. I was merely explaining it from an objective viewpoint. I have very little but respect for the guy behind it all.

I generally agree with you, GIMP is way behind the commercial options. And is almost unusable by the lay person and is lacking features a professional needs, which leads it to be almost useless for the majority of people. I use it, but also get frustrated at it every time I do. Let's hope 3 really is an inclection point.
