Well, I guess you would know, better than I.
I just remember my first exposure to gimp. I was using OS/2 which had crap for scanner drivers. Someone previously had done a linux runtime that would function inside OS/2. And another guy did this Linux version Gimp program that included drivers for a lot of scanners
So, I installed that, the actual gimp graphics program was completely an Easter egg, as far as I was concerned. The only documentation that came with, was specific to the scanner functionality.
But the sheer magnitude of all that Gimp offered, was incentive enough that I could not ignore it. So, I tend to look back with a "no question is too basic" mentality, remembering when I was there.
Gimp is really overwhealming when paintbrush is all you are used to.
I guess I could see a motive for some guy who just spent a fortune on Photoshop to perhaps come here and troll out of jealousy. :0)
