while Adobe has nothing to worry about just yet, this could turn out to be something quite nice - customizable tool menus, and selectable options for right-clicks. I read around the site a little, and didn't see mention of tablet and pressure-pen support, but I would assume that would come later. This is pretty much the first jump out of the gate for these folks - would be nice to have a backup pixel editor ;) (and yes, I know about the gimp...)

But after my glowing review above, as they said themselves, without selection tools, and more importantly, actually, layer support, this will not go far, regardless of how clean & pretty it is. I wish them luck.
