My point is CC is focused on programs for making web pages. Creating graphics is only peripherally related to that, and would be much farther afield than software for making, say, web forms or embedding video in a web page.
They would have to open up a whole different realm of coding and graphics expertise to create something akin to Photoshop, much less something that could actually compete with it. Again, there are many great titles out there already, such as Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop Elements (I own both) which for the level of use you'd see by your typical CC customer are more than competitive against the full Photoshop--and they're both compatible with nearly all Photoshop plug-ins and are quite cheap. CC, if they got into that business, would be charging about the same, I would bet on it.
You mention The Gimp: it actually competes quite well with Photoshop in several areas, it just requires more savvy on the part of the user to take advantage of some of it's more powerful tools. There's also Artweaver, whose basic version is free and competes head-to-head with Photoshop in color separation, brush tools, masking, and pretty much all the tasks for which your average user would be putting it to.
Yeah, CC does good stuff, but they don't do word processors, either. Focus, man, focus!
