FWIW - I know folks are waiting for gimp to have 16 bit color support.  I also 
know that some folks claim that because of this missing feature, gimp is not 
ready for a professional graphics use.

I wrote in a previous thread that I had been in contact with the maintainer of 
the 'separate' plugin for gimp.  I mentioned to him that I am using the 
plugin to separate a brochure that will go to press.  Here was his comment:

"I work at a small printing company, and have been using GIMP and the 
separate plugin for over a year.  I can see no difference in the 
finished article between graphics separated in the GIMP and those that I 
allow PageMaker or InDesign to separate."

His list of missing features:  "A decent colour-managed preview of the working 
document would be nice, as would 16-bit support, but what I miss most of 
all at the moment is the ability to work with spot colours."

Food for thought.
