Why do you come and get all upset. Most of the time it is the users fualt that their is an error not the companies so technically you should "suck your own cock".
Of course it will run slow it is being emulated.
Gimp is really only good for Linux. You will have more issue trying to get gimp to run on OS X then if you just waiting for Universal version of Photoshop, but you instead of being patient decided to complain.
Fuck you. For starters, the incompatibility between Adobe *CS1 and Intel Macs is fully recognized by Adobe. I posted a link to the white paper on the subject earlier. So the incompatibility is not my fault.
And the gimp works just fine on OSX. It runs flawlessly under Apple X11 if you use the .app file available from the gimp project. And I've actually gotten gtk installed from source before, so I am fully capable of getting the gimp to run, even if the .app wasn't available.
Finally, I can complain if I like. Yeah, I'm one of those poor suckers who got caught between Apple and Adobe. That's my choice, because I use their products. And I got burned - we all knew it could happen eventually, that's one of the reasons that the real future is Linux. A good little slave would put their work on hold and bow, squawking "Yes master, please grace me with the latest version of your product, sir".
Fuck that. I'm gonna make a little noise, and make sure people realize what's going on. At the very least, someone who relies on CS1 might stop to consider before buying a new Intel Mac. And if enough people make enough noise, Adobe will start working for the customer. All I ever really wanted was for them to break their strict 18-month development cycle in order to give Intel Mac users a fair shake. That's what my complaint really boils down to.
