Right.  At the time, I was doing all my imaging work on Sun workstations, and NIH was not an advance over what we had locally.  So, I ignored NIH Image.  At the time, I maintained a library of image-conversion tools from every known image format into and out of our own image format (a crude pre-cursor to TIFF).  All in C,

ImageJ was a distinct improvement.  I still tend to “roll my own” processing tools, using ImageJ as a kind of “image OS”.  Multi-platform, and not having to worry about conversions, are the big plusses, for me.
