One of the most common complains that most graphics artists have when
they try switching to GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation program) is that the
user interface for GIMP is clunky and is hard to use. I have faced the
same problem but over time I got used to the GIMP interface so didn't do
anything about it.

On the other hand Scott Moschella actually decided to do something about
it and spent a lot of time hacking the GIMP source to create GIMPShop
where the tools, options, windows, and menus closely resemble Adobe
Photoshop's menu structure and naming conventions. This modification
makes it really easy for Adobe Photoshop users to switch to GIMP
threreby saving a lot of money.
