GIMP Fork?

NewsForge has an interesting article on how it might be time to start a fork of the GIMP... The GIMP is Linux's (and the rest of the free software world's) defacto image manipulation program. It's features rival those of Adobe Photoshop in many areas, but as the article says, it's interface just isn't quite there.

I've wondered why the UI has never really changed, and they shed some light on the answer to that question in the article. Check it out!
