The GIMP v Paint Shop Pro might be a better comparison. The GIMP has 
some severe limitations in colour management, CMYK handling, tool 
previews, etc. You might show it as "powerful graphics app" but if you 
try it for "photoshop replacement" then unless your users don't actually 
really use photoshop, you'll get laughed at. I like, and use, the 
program - but realistically its not even close in functionality or 
useability.
