  That reminds me of all the people who complain how the Gimp can't do this
and the Gimp can't do that, always comparing it to PhotoShop.

  The thing is, the rare occasion I need to do some image editing, I'd
rather use the *free* software rather than pay big bucks for the pro

on Windows. The free alternative might not have even a fraction of the
features, but at least it's free and available for my system of choice.
