Well,  i know that there are commercial needs and thats ok. But when i talk about not usable for professional purposes there are 2 Reasons for that: first of all PERFORMANCE. This thing is really slow and if i have to wait for brush-strokes several seconds until they are finished and i can see the result. All this on a Graphic Workstation with a NVIDIA Quattro Graphic Card and plenty of RAM! In Comparision, Photoshop is quick and fluid.
And since 1.5 the latest Betas got even worse , if you use a Wacom Tablet every brush stroke (History Brush Tool) stops after a view seconds and has a delay for a view seconds , i do not want to work  so! My Problem is, that  i can not see any performance gains over the new realeases / Betas.Nobody can tell me that this thing is performant!
 
Second Point is Wacom input. I do a lot with Wacom.  But I think  that WACOM Support in this Software is poor.
And there is a additional Point as i posted earlier: using History Brush produces Artifacts and ugly Patterns. I know that it is a BETA Version , but i lost confidence in the algorithms.
 
The Feature List on the other  side is pretty well. I do not need a RAW Converter. There a better Options on the Market (e.g. C1 or even RAW Therapee).
 
My Point is, there is a need of a Photoshop Rival, and i think it goes a good way. But not now at this stage.
 
By the way, as a consumer of this product i should give my feedback. it is my opinion. Generally i understand the needs and time consuming work. Thats all ok, i further support you... :)
