Not always true. GIMP actually has quite deep learning curve - it is not
as simple as:
- New document
- Select color from palette
- Draw
- Save
OK. Actually it is, but finding the right brush, understanding tools etc.
will take some time.
If nobody other, children at certain age will love gpaint much over GIMP.

Btw. we have separate icon editor - and it is useful - although you can do
everything it does (and more) with GIMP.
