what you fail to grasp is that on a mac or windows, what takes a click or two, takes all sorts of hoops on linux.

What purpose does it serve to make up such silly statements as that.

nothing silly about it.

your post about how to open a tif file demonstrates just how true it is.

A click on a Linux box is exactly the same as a click on a Mac or on Windows.

not when the apps that receive the clicks do so much more.

The problem is that clicking a mouse is a great solution for some things, and a terrible one for others. Restricting oneself to only or to never is equally faulty.

there is no restriction. both options are available on a mac.

it's like saying using a typewriter and a word processing app are both the same because with both, you push the same keys.

one is *far* easier to use and more productive than the other.

Floyd L. Davidson
In different situations it turns out the other is easier and more productive.

in what situation would a typewriter be more productive?

the only one would be wanting to write something during a power outage, and if outages happen more than on rare occasion, you have more serious problems than not being able to write something.

camera raw is *far* more advanced than anything on linux, plus there are

many more choices too. if you don't like one raw converter, use another.

What has that got to do with it?

if you want the best results you need to use the best tools, which are not available for linux. that's just how it is.

Floyd L. Davidson
You make this crap up for what purpose?

it's not made up nor is it crap.

photoshop, lightroom, aperture, dxo, pixelmator and dozens and dozens of other apps are *not* available to linux users.

one of the most useful features is non-destructive editing. not only does the gimp not support that, but it doesn't even support adjustment layers! photoshop had that about 20 years ago. it's so behind the times it's laughable.
