GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 900
kai_hiwatari writes "It looks like the Ubuntu developers consider GIMP to be too powerful for a normal desktop user. They are removing it from the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04. Among the reasons cited are that the UI is too complex, it takes up room on the disc, and 'desktop users just want to edit photos and they can do that in F-Spot.''"

You are doing it wrong.
This looks shopped.
I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few in my time.

Why is it boarder line stupid?
2.8 is not out yet so the current version is still the one with the not so easy to use interface.
I bet that it will be on the the Add remove menu if not Synaptic so what is the problem?

Maynard: Gimp's not installed.
Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go apt-get install him now, won't you?

Your ingenuity of using angle brackets instead of quote tags intrigues me. You must have lots of good ideas.

The Windows GIMP installer is 16MB if that takes 5 hours to download it would mean it takes 9.11 days to download the full 700MB ISO.
Wow I just realized something if it take 5 hours to download 16MB that is about 7Kb/s. At that rate it take 9.11 days to download 700MB. See the relationship 700, 7, and 9.11.
It means that GWB knew about 9-11. 9-11 was perfectly executed hence the 7, the 700 club is a conservative organization so that means GWB new. Canonical fits in because Linux is a Communist system and they want to found a NWO.

That would explain why it's more difficult than changing a tire to draw a circle in Gimp.

I can't believe you missed the obvious relationship to the shape of a CD and the shape of a UFO... It's much bigger than GWB. It's an alien invasion, but they are trying to make our government look like incompetent boobs so we will welcome our alien overlords as a better alternative to the system we have now.

I can't see how you could object to that characterization... after all it says what it does.
