I think GIMP has a great user interface, it enables me to work fast, do things quickly, with high precision. And I am one of those who switched from Photoshop to Gimp. It is not because GIMP is better, but it has all the important features I need and it runs on Linux.

You are conflating things. You switched to Gimp because it runs on Linux and is functional enough to replace Photoshop, not because it has a great user interface. If there was Photoshop on Linux, you'd be still using that. Functional ≠ great user interface.

  No, I would not be using Photoshop, as I now dislike its user interface and find it hard and frustrating to use for simple tasks. But you know what! People are different and have different preferences. And I am far from alone preferring GIMP over the Photoshop UI.

    Sure, we can agree to disagree.

    Photoshop remains the only program I've ever had to take a class to truly figure out. While I love PS, I've also switched to the GIMP (for work stuff, anyway) as it covers most of my use cases. Many of the proponents of an 'old' interface, compared to some newer remake, are resisting the change in order to defend their prior investment.
