GO Gimp. It is suprising how many people are still calling it "The Gimp"

Definitely amazing how relevant GIMP stayed despite the naysayers. Still hoping 2.10x gets released soon, then even the high bit believers will shut up. I still remember the colorspace wars (lack of support that is) a few years back as well. Been using GIMP regularly since 2002 so I was with them for 13 years of this ride. Enjoyed it thoroughly. GIMP will only get better as PS is loosing users due to their new idiotic way of selling it.

TERRIFIC anniversary - sad for me though though that I was 19 years late in getting to use GIMP; :gimp

I agree with you on that Odin. Much better than before.

is the dragon on the front page one of Griatch's creations? It looks somewhat familiar.
