However, how often does a local paper need to work with 20 layer images?

Ask the folks in the advertising department. Probably they regularly do a lot more than resizing new photos. The fact is, professionals prefer PS not because it is "what they know", but because it does what they need. Even excusing the convoluted UI, GIMP *does not* fill the needs of *most* professionals.

the vast majority of facebook users are not concerned with privacy

This is a point that seems lost on most Slashdotters: Most of the people that use Facebook are quite happy with its "privacy" rules. They willingly supply personal information, and have the expectation that it will be spread about. Thus, Facebook is mostly a problem for those that don't use it.

Exactly. I also turn off pictures, CSS and that pointless HTML rendering. What's the reason for that anyway? I just miss out on all that random shit that I couldn't care less about. :P

So, again, rather than strutt around with your balls all oiled up and your ass in the air, why not just browse with Lynx? Or is that not "leet" enough for you?

That's what noscript is for. With noscript, your browser doesn't even download the .js files.

That's fine and dandy. IF.

If you don't care to see or experience the vast majority of web sites on the Intertubes today.

Honestly, when I see (yet another) pious elitist bleating about no-script or whatever, I wonder: Why don't you just surf in Lynx?

If you're surfing with no-script, you're missing 75% of the Internet. If it's not the 75% you want to see and or experience, than good for you. But bleating about the creative uses of JavaScript on the World Wide Web is old news.
