Re:representative ? (Score 1)

I agree with you. I also doubt GIMP users are in general your standart user. I also doubt Slashdoter are also in that category (which does not mean they wouldn't like a well designed GUI). That being said, I have seen my little sister use GIMP quite easily and being totally unable to use Photoshop. I, on the opposite, find Photoshop easy to use and its shortcuts and interface coherent with the current interface paradigms. I have tried a couple of times to switch to GIMP but ended up in tears of frustrations. Maybe there is not a better GUI, but just different paradigms, and that's pretty good if you ask me, keeps each other on their toes (Though I doubt Adobe feels very threatend by GIMP). That being said, loggers of interfaces are not particularly new. Usabilty studies and research have been using them for years. The question is really not about the log, but about how to use the data. I am sure they have more tricky questions than just finding what resolution people use (which could be more easily found that using a dedicated logger). I am wondering how a tool like WMTrace could also help them see the broader picture, like how GIMP works in collaboration with other software, but also windows layouts, pointing load on interfaces, etc.
