Why would anyone use any of that 'stuff' if they already have the
finest professional image processing program in the known universe...
Adobe Photoshop?

Gimp is so color-challenged that it can't even handle CMYK properly.

Because Photoshop does not remotely approach the capabilities of my
custom code, of course.

Also because photoshop is outrageously overpriced.

And spacially challenged: ever try looking for the Draw Circle function?

Most of the young engineers and scientists coming out of university
these days are Matlab-literate (numerate?), and Photoshop interfaces
beautifully with Matlab. Not only does it have incredible
capabilities, but they are relatively easy to use.

200 years ago you'd have been burned as a witch for having such
software.

>Also because photoshop is outrageously overpriced.

Less than $700 from Amazon. Cheap for a business, but a bit pricey for
individuals. The whole Master Collection CS4 is only $2,300. That's
cheaper than most EDA packages or mechanical CAD packages (more of a
mass market) for an amazing array of functionality.

Enough tools to even work with the old Postcript files that I used to
write by hand 15 or 20 years ago (thanks in part to your writings,
BTW) and allow WYSIWYG and/or precise numerical editing. And it
understands Pantone spot colors so we can communicate with suppliers
anywhere in the world.

Indesign (included) is the best page layout program I've ever used.

Adobe ($3bn in sales) is one of the engines of the new economy.

Not sure which version you are talking about, it works fine for me.
Version 2.2.17 and later. Then again i am not real demanding.
