I've never like the Gimp. I find it unintuitive and hard to use, but to be fair I've never really given it a fair shake either.

I've looked at some screenshots of Krita and it looks much nicer as far as layout goes. I mainly use Photoshop for web layout work and some minor photo work. What I'm looking for personally is something that I can be happy with for such things and a good solid replacement for dreamweaver. Thus far I haven't really found anything that I like.

With that said KDE 4 does sound like it shaping up to be an awesome update.

I've found a collection of tools that to me are much better than dreamweaver. I use bluefish together with firefox with the webdeveloper extension, the view source chart extension, the edit css extension, the firebug extension, and the html validator extension. I don't even use firefox as my main browser but you can almost develop websites with it alone.

I've tried bluefish and Quanta. I didn't like either. I liked nVu, but it crashed constantly and now they are moving development back into seamonkey.

My biggest problem is that most of these web editors have crappy CSS support. If I wanted to remember every CSS and HTML tag I would use something like notepad and a browser. What I like about dreamweaver is that is has a very nice CSS editor that can work with linked CSS docs and not just inline styles.

To put it simply I want something very similar to dreamweaver on Linux, but better.
