   I'm one of the few people who doesn't mind relearning interfaces and   
   consider it to be part of the fun. At the same time, I don't do anything   
   critical on the computer, so wasting an extra hour or two to figure out   
   how to do the same thing in the new system doesn't matter to me. I can't   
   imagine how annoying it would be to learn how to do the same thing in   
   GIMP when you're already an expert in Photoshop, or learning how to get   
   it done in Kdenlive when you're already an expert with Final Cut Pro.
