It looks interesting. It appears on the surface to be based on some version of 
GIMP but they seem to have made some substantial changes behind the scenes.

It is only for the Mac, has a number of UI tweaks (ie. icon for active tool 
larger than the other tool icons), uses something called Core Image (their 
version of a GEGL type library), makes use of a GPU, and they have done a nice 
job on the manual.

Other versions of GIMP for sale are mostly just repackaged or rebranded 
versions with little (if any) changes. This does not appear to be the case 
with this version.
