What's the difference between designing web pages in GIMP and in Photoshop?

Hi furtai!
Having used both photoshop and gimp, I would say that the difference is simply on the method. Photoshop's toolbox settings make it easier - and since I'm more used to it - to create pages and whatnot. It also has the slice tool displayed in the toolbox - unlike GIMP's slice tool where you have to click more than once to find it. Personally, I think GIMP's method in converting images into web design is a lot more complex - you have to (at least) save your image map into another file, and then save the main image as html.. and so on and so forth. While in photoshop, all you need to do is make them slices, generate html, and you'll have your html page ready in no time.
But when it comes down to the actual designing, I reckon it's just the matter of which application you're more used to. ;)
