Description
A common reason that most of my friend's won't come over to Ubuntu completely is because Photoshop is not supported and GIMP doesn't cut it yet as a replacement for Photoshop. It's just not as feature rich and powerful.
I can't think of any other way that GIMP could overtake Photoshop other than getting an Ideastorm for it that'll charge it with user ideas, preferences and features, etc.
What do ya'll think?

I think the makers of Gimp would love to have their app chosen over photoshop but this is definately the wrong area to post that. I doubt that Mark would make a huge push to develope gimp over ubuntu... ;)

In my humble opinion, Gimp is another program that is coming up for a rewrite with GTK3, because photoshop now supports stuff like 3D for instance and uses the GPU.
In my opinion, we should start development on another project that uses the GPU more, and is more in with the times. Gimp is one of the linux apps that still feel a bit old

Krita should get some more love too :-)

Krita is definitely the Photoshop killer, GIMP is too old and does not compare to Photoshop in terms of professional functionalities.

Also Photoshop CS2 runs perfectly fine with Wine.
