I am not sure why they decided to drop in the default apps but it was an extra little thing to help sell a windows user who has used gimp to make the jump to ubuntu. Gimp is still in the repository.

And by default a more simple graphical program like paint will be installed. @Dave – yes it will still be available in the repositories.

It's not the most user friendly application out there, but I never could find a suitable alternative (bar GIMPshop.) I guess ditching GIMP will provide more room for otehr applications. @Henk Hovis Many people want a 'system restore' style application in Ubuntu. It can be done manually using backup software, but can be a pain to set up! Can’t believe they would dump GIMP.

Not all of us are total noobs, and although I do most of my photo editing in Windows 7 Adobe Photoshop Elements, it is nice to have a Linux program to use as well. I work with RAW imagaes, so I need a fairly sophisticated program for my editing. Hopefully, there will either be a replacement, or GIMP will be available.
