At first I was thrilled Gimp 2.8 added live text input. But I don't use it because when I make text, naturally I want to do Layer Styles to it like Photoshop and I can't. For 11 years now I've been waiting for GIMP to get those features that would make it usable for me. It's always just a tool to play around with every month or so. I think in the next 5 years Linux will get a port or a new graphics app that will take Gimp to the cleaners.
