GIMP is deeply frustrating because it's a lot of very solid technical
functionality married to a cargo-cult version of the Photoshop UI -
it's *almost* a wholly satisfactory replacement for a major piece of
proprietary software (and one from a pretty odious, draconian outfit,
at that,) but that "almost" spans a pretty significant gap in workflow
efficiency and overall UX polish.

Blender I looked at once and ran screaming for the hills. Whatever
tri-lobed space aliens designed that interface can *have* it.
