Gimp is yet to achieve feature parity with Photoshop 5. not CS5 - just 5.
from 1999. And most pro users will not use anything missing features from
around CS2. 

Krita has most or all of them, by the way, and possibly some featues
photoshop doesn't even have, I'm not sure. If it's not a photoshop-killer
already it's certainly on its way. 

Gimp *could* re-brand itself as a simpler solution for amateurs, but for
that it would have to work on simplicity and even lose some features.
