As Pat already mentioned, we have no control over 3rd party websites
like gimpusers.com, but having the kind of content you are looking for
on gimp.org is something we would benefit from. Although I have to say
I'm in the "showcase" camp rather than in the "testimonial" camp.

Now, as for the print media specifically, I probably know just a few
people who have hands-on experience with GIMP there, since that use
case is not GIMP's forte so far. moreover, making GIMP marginally
capable to be usable for the print media involves installing a 3rd
party plugin, which doesn't make it all easier to promote GIMP as a
tool for the desktop publishing crowd :)
