Looks really basic... I guess it's just 'user friendly'.
To be perfectly honest, you are placing far too much value on how a program looks.
When using Photoshop, or any other image editing program for that matter, I couldn't give a shit how the interphase looks as long as it's a good interphase. Why not? Because I'm paying attention to the image I am editing.
What I do care about are
1) The program being straightforward to use--the tools that are most commonly used being easily accessible, etc.
2) The power of the program
Photoshop wins on both counts, hands down over anything else out there.
I'm sure they could add fluff and make it look "cool", but it would not demonstrably improve the program in any way at all. It really just sounds to me like this is yet another excuse for not getting Photoshop
