If there was one tool you would take out of Gimp what would it be, and why???

I like all Gimps tools, i wouldn't take out any of them.I haven't seen one yet i can't use.

I like them all, but if I had to delete one, it would be the scissor tool. I really don't use it.

The Rectangle/Ellipse/Free/Color/Scissor Select Tools could all be combined into one button being able to switch to thoughs tools (kind of like what ps does), and actually the free select tool, and the color select tool would be one tool as well with select by color being checked in the tools menu.

Also the rotate, flip, shear, scale, and perspective tool could all be combined into one button as well as the some of the other tools like blend, and bucket fill.

As for taking one tool out I would takeout the scissor select tool, foreground select tool, and perspective clone tool, cause idk how to use the last two, and the scissor select tool I never found useful.

I was thinking along the same lines as you, Mike. Also adding the right click context menus to select coordinates, shapes, dimensions, etc. I still have those PS habits when using GIMP, and vice-versa. My only concern is that GIMP is endearing to me, the way it is, if they made it too much like PS, it might lose that GIMP feel, lol. Weird, I know...

That's what the developers are afraid of, making it PS-Gimp and not Gimp anymore.
I personally love the way i can edit scripts to place them where i want them.
That's one thing PS doesn't have that makes Gimp supersede it. That hands on feel you get.
And the fact that Gimp allows users to play with the code...awesome!

They keep those two things, and they can in my opinion change Gimp however they wish and i'll still use it.
Mainly because its just as powerful as PS ,but FREE!
As soon as GEGL non destructive imaging, 16 bit, and printing fixes are fully implemented, Gimp will over-power PS big-time.

In my opinion anyways!

True, however idk why, but I still have a hunch that adobe is still trying to find a way to sue Gimp, as you always here about someone sueing someone, especially in the US. Microsoft Sueing Motorola over Android phones, Apple Sueing Motorola over Multitouch Android phones, Apple Sueing Linux Phones, Adobe sues Microsoft for bundling Paint with Windows 7, Adobe Sueing Macromedia Over Flash, and more... (Keep in mind that Adobe bought Flash from Micromedia in 2005)

It's clear to see whether you believe it or not that Adobe wants to remain the top dog when it comes to creative development from video production, producing music, graphic designing, etc: etc: and has sued plenty of people as some of the examples above, yet again whether you believe it or not I personally think their looking for some kind of way to sue Gimp, over photoshop, Inkscape over Illustrator, Kompozer over Dreamweaver, and probably a bunch of others, and are looking for some small hole to get into, and build off that, however it is my opinion, and you can see why I think that, which may also be a reason why the Gimp developers are so careful, for example in 2006 at the Libre Graphics Meeting for Gimpcon 2006, Peter Sikking (the founder of Gimp) stated (You can look here for reference, just look under "GIMP Vision") If someone comes with the request that the UI of GIMP should be like Photoshop, we can simply state: "We are not trying to be like Photoshop, because we have a different product vision." and you can also view this article of why Gimp vs. PS is the stupidest flamewar in history.

GIMP is the little engine that could.

Love that!

lol, Gimp is the little 'program' that could!
