#2I want native gimp, and I see a screenshot on the developer page, but I don't see how I would get it (short of downloading and compiling myself). Anybody know more than I?

#3This, and the app-store debacle, is the kind of stuff that makes me think that Apple isn't in it for the long haul.
Why doesn't MacOSX ship with native GTK? And Qt? Why hasn't OpenOffice worked seamlessly from day 1? Or at least day 5? Why don't Apple embrace the huge community that worships their products, instead of becoming the next Microsoft? What have they got to loose?
If getting my favourite Linux apps to run on my MacBook had bees as easy as apt-get, heck, even as easy as under Windows, I'd still use Mac OS X.. now it's running Kubuntu, and I'm regretting not getting a ThinkPad.
I'm disappointed, I REALLY wanted to like MacOSX.

Sounds like you REALLY wanted MacOSX to be Linux.

Because Mac OS X has Cocoa/Aqua for its UI instead of GTK/Gnome or QT/KDE. If you want GTK/Gnome or QT/KDE, use Linux. If you want Cocoa/Aqua, use Mac OS X.
If you looked at something like MacPorts or Fink, you would see that installing $randomPackage is as simple as "sudo (fink/port) install packagename"
Oh, and last i checked, NeoOffice worked fine (And OpenOffice is finally getting around to finishing a native Mac port). So, um, it has been supported since day one. If you bothered searching and finding it. But it's not Apple's fault OO.o doesn't advertise their product in a way to get on your radar.

Not full Gimp, but if can get by with a more basic graphics editor, this works native on OS X:

Last I tried you could download native gimp, but it was fatally flawed in its keyboard handling. Nice progress, but still more work to go. It's been a while since there was an update, so no breath holding.

Uhm... So why did you get a Mac again?
I don't even have a Mac, but if all I wanted to do was run Linux shit (and you clearly did), I'd pick up a cheap Dell laptop instead of overpriced Mac hardware.

Up till now, the "native" Gimp still used X11 (which is being worked on (see Xquartz), but still buggy) for OS X. And X11 isn't exactly native on OS X by any means.

It also sounds like he REALLY isn't apple's market anyway.
