"Gimp is a extremely great toolbox!"
Version: GIMP 2.8
Pros
The toolbox for the carpenter does not make him a skilful carpenter but it is a condition for his work and his skills, the same goes for a photographer, Gimp or alternative professional editing program is a condition for his work, but you yourself must be skilful to do skilful editing. Gimp gives you just the tools.
Cons
It could be a bit more stable.

It has total flexibility.
The programs total flexibility is one reason why it is so great.
People who says that Gimp is complicated or that the GUI is bad etc. do not actually know what they are talking about.
Gimp is a very simple program to edit professional work with. If you find it complicated, it is not because the program is complicated but because the task you are going to do is complicated.
That Gimp opens in three windows might be a good or might be a bad thing, but I find this debate about this as a extremely minor issue.
I think that Gimp is a gift from heaven as you get this great program for nothing.
I also think that it is great that it is open source. No nagging about upgrading. You can install in how many computers you like. No one cares! That is worth a lot! You do not either need to buy a new computer to use it, the old one will do!

"Not user-friendly enough"
Version: GIMP 2.8
Pros
many features
Cons
too many features; too complicated
Summary
After using Photoshop for a while, I tried this in lieu of buying the full Photoshop program. Maybe I didn't give it a fair shot, but I want a program that is simple to use but also has easy-to-use effects and features, and Gimp wasn't it. This is 2012 and if you want to compete, then you'd better have one-click everything. Gimp tried my patience.
