It's funny, but there are lots of users I meet who I'm sure are not
advanced enough to notice these Photoshop-GIMP differences, but they
have heard that the GIMP lacks some of Photoshop's more advanced
features, and so they aren't willing to switch. If they consider
themselves 'expert' computer users, they are probably convinced that
the GIMP is practically useless compared to Photoshop. Of course, I
tell them just to give it a try and they won't notice the difference,
but...
