I would say that both programs have their place right now, but the user has to be aware of their strengths and limitations. I always have both Gimp and Cinepaint installed. I do ALL color adjustments in Cinepaint, and then for retouching/painting/other effects I save as an 8-bit tiff and open the image in Gimp. Gimp has the nicer features as far as painting, retouching, and interface go, but I would never work totally in 8-bit for any kind of print work. You also have to remember that Cinepaint has a totally different intended audience. It's just coincidence that it has features that appeal so much to still photographers.
