Conversion isn’t a perfect process and often has undesirable effects on the image. This makes it necessary for documents intended for print to be created in CMY

  How do you preview your image then? You have to have it in RGB for editing to show up on your monitor.

    This is not a discussion worth having, there isn't good logic in any of the discussions with photoshop users, its pretty much going to come down to personal preference.

      If by Photoshop users you mean print professionals, you're right. Arguing isn't worth your time. Adobe has built its reputation around actually listening to professional designers working in the print, film, and Web industries and adding features to their software to support workflows from those industries. GIMP... has not. (As another example also mentioned here, in addition to CMYK, Photoshop also knows about spot colors and can separate those for prepress as well.) Until GIMP gets actual, professional customers and really listens to them, it's a nonstarter in this space.
