Let's call this one "An exercise in getting the real facts." Many of the arguments against FOSS software out there are just plain wrong, and having a few links ready to educate the uninformed at least gives others a chance to get their facts straight . Take Gimp, for instance. Gimp released again, and like a Holiday on the calandar, that always means it's flame-weekend on the Internet. Gimp is proprietary software users' number-one favorite straw man. I have never seen the FOSS program that takes half the abuse that Gimp does.

The rest of the essay can be linked above, but I think it's a good refutation of a lot of anti-GIMP FUD that floats around.
