Photoshop has made great leaps in capabilities during the past 10 years, while Gimp has largely stayed still. I keep checking in with Gimp to see if anything has changed, and no, nothing much has changed. If you're using a Mac and only need occasional image manipulation, then Seashore is a good option. My understanding is it's Gimp with sane UI - allowing you to do the most commonly-needed tasks quickly.
