What the author of the review doesn't explain is the niche Gimp fills.
- Why use such a complex piece of software for fixing red-eye or cropping? - Why one needs to use PS for certain prepress jobs. - Why one should use Film-Gimp (Cinepaint) for its 16-bit deep editing abilities.
Gimp is not appropriate for every job, just like Perl or C++ have niches, and a review should explain what the appropriate tasks are.

I agree.
I also think this particular version is a waste of money due to the recent UI changes made in the most recent GIMP version.
In addition, we will hopefully see full color depth editing in an upcoming version, which will significantly improve GIMP from a professional standpoint.

Waste of money? I'm not sure what you mean by this.
