As i said in another thread, it sucks to see a new interface come out of Apple, but this interface does look pretty damn cool.
(the Open/Save dialog appears to be all grey in that app)

It's a Pro app - the 'Pros' have the equipment - or will upgrade shortly to meet the requirements.
This isn't for you and your momma.

I don't know if anyone REALLY believed Apple would try to kill Photoshop. Happily they did not :) This app meets a specific need that Photoshop didn't meet.

You look at something like this and wonder why anyone would use anything else? Apple is probably hoping the same thing. They want the photo market and I think they have it.
As far as Adobe is concerned Aperture is only stepping on them a little. The problem with Photoshop is that it has to be all things to all people. This is a very focused application. Does anyone think Microsoft could write something this nice?

I'm not shamed to admit that I don't know nothing about photo software or even about taking a decent picture...
But I'm glad Apple is in the game with a good app, at least for what I heard!

Not sure I see your point. This has a very similar interface with the rest of their pro line.
