Too powerful for normal users, too limited for power users.
I'm a semi-professional photographer, have had art shows & a couple of photos published. Everything I do, everything, goes through Gimp before the public sees it. There is a common misconception out there that the Gimp is limited to hobby use only. I've found that pretty much anything I could ever want to do can be done with Gimp if I only take the time to learn how. The same is true of Photoshop.
Douglas Adams already foreshadowed a scheme like this in order to be able to afford the fabulously expensive dinner at Milliway's.
Douglas Adams is only dead for tax purposes, BTW.
