Gimp is the poor mans photoshop. With the right training you can wield it just as good as Photoshop. I normally get frustrated and stop using it quickly though.

The interface doesn’t have quite the same finesse that Photoshop has which causes you to revert back. If you don’t have access to Photoshop it’s a great alternative.
For those wanting to get into graphic design as a career choice, employers will still require you are comfortable with Photoshop so I wouldn’t put GIMP on your resume, I doubt many would accept it as equivalent (or know what it was).

If you are familiar with Photoshop, yet want to try GIMP with an easier user interface that is similar to Photoshop… I would then suggest trying GIMPshop.
“GIMPshop is a modification of the free/open source GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), intended to replicate the feel of Adobe Photoshop. Its primary purpose is to make users of Photoshop feel comfortable using GIMP.”

That’s been my experience too Andrew.
