To be fair to you, I think it's a valuable comment and the replies were insightful to me. Maybe your comment was being read as anti-Gimp (Gimp stories always get a lot of low-effort "Why hasn't Gimp done <x> yet??" comments). I love Gimp and I upvoted your comment because I've wondered similar things too -- just what is the relationship between GNU and GIMP?
That relationship seems to be a little confusing going by this thread, so I think your comment was warranted!
