Well it depends entirely on whether you want to spend money...quite a bit of it...or if you would prefer freeware...personally I prefer Photoshop Elements to everything else...then again I am just a hobbiest....I am sure if I needed something more serious then I would prefer Photoshop. GIMP is not bad though....they just need to fix a few things on it and add a few things to make it better.

Photoshop CS3 Hands down. Much more user friendly, and definitely packs more power.

Much like linux and windows... the free option is good considering its free, but the payed option just runs laps around it.

Right now: PhotoShop. I have used PhotoShop more than two years and only tried Gimp twice. Right now I can't really compare them.

Photoshop definitely wasn't user friendly when I first tried to learn it. It took me a while before I got the hang of it.

Of course, I will say Photoshop even though I think that it could be better, though Gimp seems nice from when I tried it. There is a version of Gimp called Gimpshop out there. It will help you get used to the layout of Photoshop without having to use Photoshop.

Photoshop Elements - 80% (or more) of photoshop's power presented in a user friendly way.

I don't own photoshop, nor can I afford such an expensive software program. I'm using GIMP.

The way the window is distributed is much more inviting in Photoshop then in GIMP. Photoshop has buckets of features that take a good while to understand what they do, but the core functions are more easily accessible.

Photoshop, for obvious reason and for everything but cost.
I've been using it for an year on airbrushing and digital art, I even prefer it over Corel Painter X because Photoshop has a much more friendly interface.

Corel Painter's brush simulation is Godlike though. Nothing can beat it.

The user interface of photoshop is always hard to learn but once learned its perfect. Gimp (windows version, never tried linux) is great but theres always some plugins/feature make it crash, photoshop is more bloated in the resources but it is superior in every other way except the price.
