Keep it to yourself, will you? If Rupert Murdoch gets wind of this, he might change his mind about cordoning Fox News off from the rest of the Internet!
Actually, probably not.
I love the tail end of this dross:
"What do maps, dictionaries and novels have in common? They're all printed on paper and they can be heavy, expensive and difficult to access."

Twee, useless article.
I used Photoshop for about a decade before switching to GIMP, and it's not that confusing. Certainly, if you expect them to behave the same, you're in for some confusion, but if you approach it on its own terms rather than expecting it to be Photoshop, you'll have a better time of it.
Check the Experiences & Testimonials forum, and you will see that desktop users primarily care about two things:
1) that Ubuntu works perfectly with their hardware,
2) that they don't have to use the command line.
If a user's going to complain about GIMP, they're going to complain that it doesn't have the plugins and features Photoshop does. Not that oh noes it's too complicated.
Not anymore you don't. Poof!
Try this exercise:
Imagine yourself, building a giant man made of straw.
Imagine other posters burning it.
Now imagine yourself smiling with satisfaction, convinced you've actually made a relevant point.
Congratulations.
No, no, NO, it's the Photoshopping guy who's the pervert, -not- the guy searching in hidden directories for other people's porn on the company dime. Focus!
Being self-righteously annoyed about things that don't actually affect you is one of the cornerstones of geek culture.
It's also a good sign you don't have much going on.
