Interesting ...  I actually started reading the GIMP manual
(manual.gimp.org) yesterday, and I finally "got it" on a few things
I've never understood about this program.  I'm no graphic designer
though, so I wonder if you can tell us why people prefer GIMP over
Photoshop, other than just familiarity.  Are there really areas for
web graphic design where Photoshop is better?

As for Dreamweaver and Flash - I write XHTML showing the structure of
the content and leave it to a graphic designer to write CSS.  This
separation of roles seems to work very nicely.  Why would anyone want
to use DW?
