I use gimp also. Mainly because it's free. I don't see a need to spend $600 some dollars on a pc program, unless you're going to go professional in that industry. Gimp works fine for me. If you practice with it, you'll eventually become very used to it. Plus, i've used photoshop in a videography class last year, and it's not a walk in the park. There are actual classes that teach about this program.
