I first tried GIMP several releases ago on a very slow box, and just couldn't deal.

I now have a few faster boxes, and I also have GIMP on my Windows laptop (hey, it's required for my work... I do run Knoppix though). I'm really impressed, especially when GIMP is compared against Photoshop Elements. Elements added some new features in this release, possibly due to GIMP competition?

I've also converted to Photoshop users to GIMP by enticing them with GIMPshop.

Anybody else have good experience with the new versions?
