Advantages: Matches the capabilities of most graphic programs, with a customizable interface.

Disadvantages: Some may find the layout messy. Having separate windows could be cumbersome.

Why bother paying for photoshop or other expensive programs when this program is out there for free?

This program works along the same lines as photoshop, though as an open-source program, it's far more customizable.
What I find most attractive is the floating window screen set up. Tools are set up in "bays" instead of locked in toolbars, or cluttering the screen with dozens of separate windows. This allows for the window showing the picture in progress to fill more of the screen. It also makes it easy to find favorite tools, and hide away things you don't need.

Installtion was simple and bug-free. There are no surprises in this download. Totally spyware free. I had it up and running in less than fifteen minutes.

The only wish I have is for more preset brushes. Though this is pretty easily remedied. User-made brushes are pretty simple to create and add.

I almost forgot my favorite feature. The screenshot grab option. Drag a little 'x' over the window you want, and Gimp pulls it up right there. A nice feature for forgetful people like myself, who can't remember the shortcut keys for such things.

Summary: Fantastic program. Especially when you consider the price. And lack thereof.

Definitely a plus to have a funny name I think.
