This is a patch for GIMP that makes UI look similar to Adobe Photoshop.

Yeah, I haven't used Krita much yet but apparently the developers made a decision to use Photoshop's shortcuts, which is very pragmatic of them. In theory all applications could conform to a default keybinding scheme. I get the impression that the GIMP team are proud of GIMP having a unique identity though (which is why they also refuse to rename it even though lots of people want them to) and I quite like that.

I think that experience and familiarity are what makes complicated bits of software like this intuitive. I've been learning Ardour which is a heavyweight program for music production and was totally bewildered in the beginning. After learning it a bit though I realised how sensible the structure/layout is and how intuitive it now feels.

I used Ardour for about a year or two to produce a podcast. It's so well polished and I preferred it to Logic Pro for that task at times.

Especially considering that AFAIK Ardour is developed by two guys and does not have a massive userbase/income it's absolutely shocking how good it is. I'm yet to discover a single bug and have probably only scratched the surface with it. For the scope, extensibility, capability and value I think that Ardour and GIMP are the best two pieces of software I've ever used, open source or otherwise.
