Based on your logical abilities it can be ascertained that you are not
a "pro" in anything.

The above statement merely indicates that an "image pro" would not
notice or be overly concerned about the GIMP UI.  It in no way even
suggests that one must a "pro" in order to use GIMP.

However, as with all capable software, the GIMP is better wielded
by image pros.  Witness the billions of junk spreadsheets that are
created by the hordes of untrained Calc/Excel users.  It is the same
with the GIMP.

Now get back into your harness and plow those fields.  Maybe one day
your master will be able to afford a tractor.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
