The poor man's photoshop

[SimplyMatt]

Honestly, them windows can piss me off too, especially when working on 2 or more images at once. I would love some keyboard shortcuts for these, but thats another matter. CS5 I hear (actually, a friend said CS4 was better, though I don't have first-hand experience) is bloody well made with tons of support around and don't exactly discourage people getting it... that is, if you had enough money not to care for a probably much more powerful (power comes from the UI, you can do anything on PS that you can do on GIMP) tool.
