I believe, that after year or so, when KIS will be already usable, normal
17'' monitors will cost $200, not $400, and professional ones $350, not
$700 ;-)

Normal IMPs, like Photoshop, has very complex mouse oriented GUI, not that
mixture of Emacs and Win95  GIMP has ;-). Such GUI as Photoshop's needs
lots of screen space, and 800x600 is absolute minimum.
But I think, that GUI's design should be aimed to neither 640x400 nor
2048x1600 resolutions, but to something in the middle.
