Hehe sorry, I should have done my homework, I was a bit over optimistic about GIMP. But it being open source and popular means it's probably only a matter of time until it's full featured.

I think the way they tell mac people how they can install GIMP is funny: they could have a couple of links to the gimp.app and X11.app files, and a footnote to tell people who want to compile from source where to find more info. But no, they lump it all in one confusing paragraph. Looks like the free software thing needs some non geek help.
