Gimp never even needed to be as robust as Photoshop. All anybody needs is a OSS alternative to casually touch up a photo every now and then if you aren't forced by life to be one of Adobe's hostages. Just give me a vaguely Photoshop-like thing with a semi-competent context aware filter that isn't physically painful to use. Kryta and others will pick up the slack for all the painting stuff.
