Huh? Photoshop isnt easy to learn either buddy.
As for Gimp having limited functionality... I guess I'm not using either piece of software for as advanced purposes as you, because I haven't noticed it.
I didn't say it was the best, but I don't think it is 'gimped'.
I also have Photoshop CS3 on my XP computer, and find it just as difficult to use as the Gimp.
That's it, I'm going to start bugging Tyll for stuff. Hell, I got him a shirt when he came up here... he owes me! [joking of course, after all he did COME up here for our benefit]
I liked them both and would definitely need more time to pick. The flats sounded incredible with the right music, but on bass heavy music the bowls were preferable. I also found the bowls more comfortable.
Man, I need to get to a meet that has all three sizes and get the magic fit. Well, I probably only need medium and large... I'd be surprised if my head was considered a small.
