The main thing for me last time I tried it was the lack of brushes (which is now solved thanks to google) and the fact that when GIMP 2 first came out it kept crashing on my M$ box.

There is a bug report on Bugzilla (491230), but I'm not holding my breath. I've reverted to 2.2.17. Unfortunately for us Windows users, the print module in 2.4.0 is messed up.

As it allows me to have a fullscreen canvas on one screen, and navigation/preview and tools on the other one. You could always use the tab key if you have a small screen "... pressing the Tab key (toggles visibility of all docks) ..." Though it's sort of broken on Windows. Pressing tab only toggles if you have focus on a canvas. The thing I find to be most annoying is that they use inches as the base unit. Personally, I find the UI to be it’s greatest asset.
