Having used Linux for over a decade, and using plenty of *nix software on macs ever since OS X ever came out, I can tell you that, for anything creative, nearly everything is severely lacking either in terms of usability or utility.  GIMP, for example, lives up to its name quite well, and until I got photoshop running, I was having to do all my image editing in Krita, which is painting software, but *still* miles above anything else on the platform.

Tova:
I'm not overly familiar with GIMP, so I can't comment specifically. But to be fair, I would point out that Photoshop (the program on which it is obviously based) also has a steep learning curve. Is GIMP in fact significantly less usable than Photoshop?

Zebediah:
There are things that are unnecessarily hard in GIMP, but over the years I have found ways to do just about everything I need to do in it. I’m not doing professional-quality graphics so I can’t really justify the price of Photoshop, while GIMP’s price is pretty hard to beat.

hedgie:
I hate the interface, which is a pretty common complaint, but the real killer things for me are lack of support for high bit-depth and adjustment layers, which make it useless for me for photo editing.  I do much prefer Krita for my OSS image stuff, even though it's designed for digital painting, since it's intuitive, quite powerful (especially with a wacom tablet), and can handle high bit-depth.

Tova:
Interesting. Surprising.

According to my google research, high bit depth was added in 2.9 and an adjustment layers feature is coming.
