I think the coolness about hating Photoshop comes from Photoshop on Mac being a 2nd class citizen. The Windows version of Photoshop is better in every way. It is very stable and has an excellent UI (though a few of the older dialogs could use an update).

The Mac version on the other hand is a pain in the ass to use. I operate at about 70% efficiency when using the Mac over Windows version.

Do you have any specifics? The UIs are very similar. They don't use the OS widgets on either platform to keep things consistent and if you know one you know the other. So much so that I'm not a fan of the Mac UI too much because it feels like a Windows app.

That is interesting, its the first time I've heard that. I've been using Photoshop on Windows since at least 1999 and can not imagine life without it. It never crashes (everything else I use does.)
