Right, that I'm familiar with.

And that I wasn't. Nice. It is worth pointing out that Akkana articulates
the two use cases nicely on that page:

   Sometimes I use GIMP in the way the developers are encouraging, adding
   dozens of layers, fonts, layer masks and other effects. Much more often,
   I use GIMP to crop and rescale a handful of JPG photos I took with my
   camera on a hike.

I realize that this is a polarized issue. But I don't think the developers
would lose any face to admit that, okay, this other use case is common and
should be covered.
