Dude, its Free Software.
The point isn't to be functional, useful, elegant, efficient, or appropriately represented. The Kernel Devs do that.
In userland apps its all about the fanboi-ism. Free Love, Free Beer, Free Software. (If you're mad about the software not doing anything right - you need more of the first two.)
I don't think that any single person needs to replace every single feature in Photoshop. But I agree that there are many features in PS that doesn't exist in the alternatives.
However, if the user doesn't need those features then why can't gimp or pixel be direct replacements?
I found it odd that they tried to list alternatives to Fireworks though since there really aren't any alternatives to that one, not even on Win or Mac.

It matters because when someone says "These are Photoshop Alternatives." I expect them to be Photoshop alternatives.
