Version: GIMP 2.6.7
"Powerful, versatile, easy to use. Not a resource hog."
Pros: Easy quick download & installation. Works fast without bogging down the system. Open source means free! Add-ons, support and updates are available within the community. Tons of features, functions and options. Very customizable.
Cons: Not really a con, tons of options, features and functions means a steep learning curve. Can be confusing at first. Help is out there but you have to get involved, go to a forum and ask!
Summary: The GIMP satisfied my occasional need for an image viewer / editor supporting many formats. I don't do a lot of photo / graphics editing, don't know much about the various software packages for it either. However I did not have any trouble using the GIMP to accomplish my simple tasks. It is way more powerful than I ever expect to need but it's nice to have should those needs grow. After you get used to it the three pane GUI is pretty nice. The GIMP runs flawlessly, has never locked up or crashed on me yet. Best of all, it has virtually unlimited "undo" capability!
