Do you think Gimp will ever replace Photoshop

Yes; remember GIMP#. It was actually able to run certain Photoshop actions too. Believe later updates to GIMP2.6x killed it.

When I come up with something that requires me to create a custom scripte, I might try your python plugin Tran. I'm just that lazy to even do that. lolol

Regardless, your effort is noted. You always make awesome stuff, Tran.

well you can't do much with just 4 recordable sample actions right now...hence proof of concept. :hehe

Maybe not replace, but at least be more popular than it.

The main reason is because no one on a budget can afford to buy a program that can take years to master the program, and what if you give up? Like $60, wasted.

While gimp can also take a long time to master, you don't have to risk wasting money on a free program. Also, what about minors or people who can't afford ps in general?

And in a way, gimp seems more powerful than photoshop!

After my last build (well; re-build) it has., Will miss ACR, but that was the only thing I really was using PS for (to process my Raws; now I just don't; use the jpeg file to edit). I'm hoping, once GIMP starts having high bit depth ability, that it will incorporate a raw processor. Just not impressed with the Open Source raw processors out there at the moment.
