    <description><![CDATA[Seriously, xsane terrifies me. I'm completely lost each time I use it. It reeks of that poorly designed early-90's hacker-app feel. There's Scanner Utility in Add/Remove, but it doesn't let me scan all of my scanner. Can we please have something similar to the scanning programs of Windows?<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Although @mastro is very emotional,<br />I agree.<br /><br />As soon as I plugged in my EPSON Stylus to Ubuntu,<br />it had the drivers to, and did, scan and copy and image<br />in less than 3 min, using xsane.<br /><br />With the included Windows app, it took about 10-15 min.<br /><br />I'm afraid the person who started this thread needs to <br />simply explore the menus of the program, that's fundamental.<br /><br />It's possible that he/she is scared of Outlook Express/Thunderbird and would demand an easier alternative.<br /><br />I honestly don't mean to be rude,but some simply expect<br />a Media Center program for everything.<br /><br />It would be nice, but it would need a complete desktop interface overhaul- not to mention program engine overhaul.<br /><br />]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[It reminds me of gimp. Back when I first tried gimp out, I had no Idea what I was to do. Gimp is REALLY powerful, but the interface in confusing. It's the same thing with xsane, REALLY powerful, but interface is confusing. I think that We should have gnome-scan by default because of that.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[XSane is quite OK. But let's wait till gnome-scane will gain more features and then see if it's worth replacement.<br /><br />@travist120<br /><br />Maybe it's just your tasks were not worth running GIMP? I mean, some people try using Scribus for doing things they would have done faster in OOo Writer without learning principles of DTP ;-)]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[AGREED! XSane is sooooo ugly and confusing. It may be poweful, but you can surely present powerful features in a more intuitive way which is consistent with the rest of the desktop.]]></description>
