I've been using it for about 14 years now (putting a number to that seems strange, odd that it's been that long). I've quite literally grown up along side the program. I saw it learn new tricks in its childhood (history panel in version 5, vector shapes in version 6). I saw it find it's first love (ImageReady in 5.5), it's breakup (ImageReady axed, partial features merged in with photoshop under the "animation" window), and it's current mistress (Macromedia merger). I saw it go to college and get smart (Smart layers in CS3), and watched as it changed its style (CS4 redesign). It's odd knowing the intricacies of the beast that photoshop has become. I couldn't imagine learning it all from scratch right now, but having come from such an early version (4.0 was my first version) I saw many of the current features get added in, and learned as it went along. Then again I suppose I can understand it. I switched to vim as my primary editor around four years ago. I feel like vim is my current photoshop - enormously complex, but elegant once you understand it.
