"Pretty darn good!"
I've had Gimp on my computer for years but only used it occasionally, being confused by the many option. Like Photoshop you need to learn the program.
After I upgraded from Gimp 2.2 to 2.6 I started to get it. The menus were cleaned up and are organised very well now. Much more logical then Photoshop if you ask me.
All it took me to get familiar with this program was taking a few tutorials. When you google Gimp tutorials there are too many to start with.
I'm still learning but I have already learned so much and can do so much with it that's it's a lot of fun learning it better and better.
Gimp, in functionality is very much like Photoshop but without some of the bells and whistles. The important tools are there but often they are just a little bit less refined. If you would actually miss that depends on your usage.
Apart from that, there are so many plug-ins and scripts that you can so easily add that this software is endless in what it can potentially do.
Strong points-
Solid program that can replace photoshop for many users who don't need it for advanced printing.
- The many free plug-ins.
- It is free.
Weak points-
The text tool. But it's being worked on and supposedly a lot better in the next version.
- It just cannot replace photoshop for pro users yet.

"Downloadable User Manual for GIMP 2.6"
GIMP is as good as PhotoShop, yet occupies a fraction of the space and loads up a lot faster as well! Like PhotoShop though, you CANNOT master it without a User Manual.
While a downloadable manual is available for Version 2.4, none existed for Version 2.6. We at WellOiledPC have compiled the PDF version of the GIMP 2.6 User Manual. It comprises of over 950 pages in the final draft and occupies nearly 30 MB. While compiling the User Manual, we have faithfully adhered to the HTML version's structure and flow, though we have corrected a few Grammar and spelling mistakes...
We are pricing the downloadable, password-protected PDF version at an affordable US$ 9.95 and you may securely order your copy by visiting the link http://www.welloiledpc.com/images.htm. You will also be able to view the ToC as well as check out a sample Chapter (Chapter 5) on this page.
Once you make your payment, we will send you the link for the complete User Manual as well as it's password, within 24 working hours. Trust you are convinced of our authenticity!
We look forward to your order!

"A fantastic software!"
This software is fantastic. It has, by some so called experts, a reputation to be nearly as good as Photoshop but by some others to be better or as good as Photoshop.
This does not surprise me, though, as in the world of software many people use what they are told by others to use or what they have only heard by others to be a good thing to use. I guess it is so because they themselves lack the knowledge to decide and tends therefore to stick to famous brands (like sticking to Norton when it comes to anti-virus software). Market share alone does not, in other words, prove anything
I have talked to several professional photographers here in Sweden and they had a respect for the quality of this software. I am an amateur but easily and in a short time I have been doing amazing and quite professional stuff. Go to YouTube and search Gimp and you will easily find some advice on how to use it. You can also download a lot of plug-ins. Why pay a lot of money when you can get absolutely professional software for free?

"Meh"
Terrible UI, obscure features buried deep in unintuitive menus..... Do yourself a favor and buy Photoshop. Or if you have no $$$ google paint.net.

"Promises, promises"
sure, it all sounds good but let's face it, this application needs a lot of work to be anywhere user friendly or productive. I tried this and found what I already had was far superior. Don't have time to navigate a poor user interface to get even simple jobs done. I'll stick to what I have.

"the best of the bests"
simply excellent, it's recommended. It's better than paint.net and other imaging software and all this for free !!!

"hard to handle"
It is really annoying that there is no main window. All tool palettes are just floating around on the desktop. So I use Paint.Net which is much easier and better.

"Excellent"
Hi GIMP is a very good option to manipulate photos or images, needs some plugins for other options but is so easy to find them and install it.
GIMP is full profesional and the best is FREE!!!
Thanks for this wonderful software

"great"
I've been using gimp for a while now and I think it is a great free program. I can understand why people would complain about the GUI. GIMPShop attempt to give it an alternative user interface, but I don't think it really succeeds.

"Look elseware"
Extremely shabby UI, lack of decent tuts to get you going. It has many (basic) features, but they are poorly implemented. All the things I like about photoshop aren't here. Look elsewhere for a quality image retouching program.

"lots of function, needs polish badly"
What can I say? The mighty gimp has lots of promise as very good software. It can do many things the big names do for free. The only downside is the UI is pretty shabby and I've never gotten used to it. It feels like stumbling around in the dark to figure out what I need to do.
