Text editing its a pain compared to photoshop. Lots of filters dont have a real-time preview, which make applying them a futile exercise of guessing Layers have bounds that doesnt correspond with the content of the layer (maybe somebody finds this useful, I hate it) The plugins for Layer effects are all a mess and its easier to do it by hand Its impossible to select a group of layers, and I dont mean to apply some filter or edit them, I mean to organize the layers. Move up a group, etc. There is no way to create folders of layers... There is no way to hide/show a group of layers...
