F-Spot is already on the CD - and thus installed by default. It is
able to do some of the basic things that "most" users tend to need.
Simple tasks such as red-eye removal, cropping, resizing and so on.

sudo apt-get install gimp isn't hard either.
If you want it, you can install it. Simples.
A video of the session here at UDS will be available shortly. So
rather than rely on inflammatory poorly informed blog posts, you can
see what the developers themselves say.

We're working hard to get the videos up but there's a lot of them and
they take a while to upload. We have a team editing and mixing them,
and they're working flat out.
Cheers,
Al.
