OS X-native GIMP coming

Seashore doesn't yet offer the full functionality of GIMP, though it is based on the same code base.

Personally, I can't wait for this one of my biggest annoyances with Mac Gimp is that X11 on Mac doesn't support my Wacom tablet's pressure sensitivity.

Exactly was I was just going to say James.
Chris, since it's OSS that we're talking about, I can guarantee it will be universal. No need to wait 12 months for the answer to that question, unless it actually takes that long to complete the port of the tool kit.
And Thanks for the reminder Oliver...
But this does raise one question for me. Are there any attempts to build a completely OSS version of OS X? More than just the Darwin core, but a complete Core Audio/Image/Video/Data, "QuickTime", Quartz package. One of the biggest advantages of OSS is it's choices - you're not forced to use any specific kernel, file system, package manager, desktop, window manager, etc. But from a developer's standpoint that makes it a LOT more difficult to create a universal linux app.
It may just be "Yet Another OSS Distro" but you have to admit that OS X has a very robust, intelligent design that could be significant in the OSS community. I could see a project like that being successful for BOTH open source and Apple considering their current involvement with the community.

You quite obviously don't know the difference between the two...

I thought Seashore already did this..

This is actually rather bigger than just GIMP. Gtk+ is the widget set that an awful lot of Linux applications use, so a native port of Gtk+ will allow an awful lot of programs that currently require X to run natively.

Just had another thought? For both Motorola and Intel? I have a feeling I'll be asking this question a lot in the next 12 months.

Very cool, thanks! Really looking forward to this!

Good. Then I'll use it more often than I do since I hate having to run X11.
