[challenge entry] Let the intarweb decide
Google knows who the victor is, the micro$0ft monkeys.
created with gimp
This post was created using The Gimp. Just like to point out, my post didn't cost a photoshop licence, it was done using free software.

# blimey you`re a bit of a geek!
you should have a look at Smarty PHP templating for your site - quite nice, and you can "cache" bits of the content to minimise database trips

# full respect for having the patience to use the gimp to make anything
it drives me nuts, so I`m happy to have photoshop elements (50-60 quid) and you can run it under wine!

# well if people are gonna pay the same for paint shop pro.. why not snog Adobe`s big hairy gusset for the same price ;)

I do have a hooky copy of PS7 also, but after buying Flash (+the rest of Macromedia Studio), I`m broke, and will be for the next year or so

# i find it ok

# 4 years *sobs*

# only discovered it through my crazy mate who probably wants to have sex with Frank Zappa`s corpse
I`ve never heard an album like it, and probably not likely to.. the first 5 or 6 listens were just to get over the "what the fuck?" factor!

# Nice work
I used to use THE GIMP loads and i liked it, till a copy of Photoshop 8 found it's way to being on my Pc :)

# back in the day
i used to use psp4-5 heaps... was really nice, gimp isnt the best thing out, but given the choice between paying for something and using something else thats free, but could be done a little differently i choose free.

especially when you can submit bugs and talk directly with the authors of the software, thats a huge bonus.

gimp has stuff like splash screen compos and stuff that you just dont get with other programs, its a real community effort.
