It is the imbecile apple fanbois who claim that. Nobody else has ever 
claimed that the Gimp is as capable as PhotoShop. What has been claimed is 
that Gimp is good enough for the vast majority of users. It is after all 
only a small portion of users which are professionals.
And *that* is true. It just does not suit the lunatics goals
