What do you guys think of the HTML 5 language? I can't wait to use the video tag. I hope all the places that use flash convert over to this and Adobe shrivels up into a little ball and dies.

That's what I meant. It would be really hard for an open-source alternative to gain traction because of how horrible their GNU neigbhor is.
Tons of idiots would be going "why don't you fork the gimp instead", whiners would use the open-source fallacy "if you don't like the GIMP just fix it", and a steady stream of artless aspies would submit patches that ruin the artists' workflow.
But Photoshop really needs a serious competitor that starts out as a clone. I've started using Photoshop with version 3 in 1995, and it was already way better than today's gimp. Fuck, even paint.net is ten times more useful than the gimp, and it's only 5 years old and started out as a CS senior project.
