<p>I&#8217;ve always been a great fan of <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/">Fireworks</a> because of its simplicity. Adobe Photoshop is a lot more powerful, but it is a bit less intuitive. I&#8217;ve also tried <a href="http://gimp.org"><span class="caps">GIMP</span></a>, but I have given up just for the interface I just don&#8217;t like. It remembers me of the old Photoshop style with a lot of windows. It is just not easy for me to work with it, and I&#8217;m glad <a href="http://gui.gimp.org/"><span class="caps">GIMP</span> team noticed this</a> and <a href="http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/">they are brainstorming</a> for the new UI.</p>

<p>In my opinion they should implement the MX style, one window with all the stuff. Canvas in the middle and optional toolbars on the side. As a webdesigner, I want to take full advantage of my screen-resolution, so if possible, I&#8217;d like the toolbars to auto-hide so I can see my project in 1:1 zoom. For old-school <span class="caps">GIMP</span> users, making the toolbox to float around too would be a nice thing.</p>

<p>Another good thing that I would be nice to see is a nice integration with webdesigning tools like bluefish, ajunta, eclipse, etc</p>

<p>Well this are just my basic ideas, and probably I will send an email to gimp.brainstorm at gmail.com with &#8220;GIMP&#8221; as subject and an imaging showing my ideal graphic tool. If you do have nice thoughts on this, feel free to contribute too. Good ideas will be posted on the <a href="http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/">brainstorming blog</a>. Opensource UI design :)</p>
