I use GIMP all the time for editing and its interface feels great to me. Mostly just like this silly thing I made as an avatar http://i.imgur.com/4xFBVus.png http://i.imgur.com/4xFBVus.png or this color swap I did http://i.imgur.com/S7QH2EA.png http://i.imgur.com/S7QH2EA.png , or cropping out something to put it on a different background, changing the contrast/saturation/brightness/etc to make a picture look better, sometimes pixel art, or turning a series of images into a GIF. I used to use photoshop and I remember it not really being easier or harder. It did have moments where it was more convenient, such as automatically sizing a new image to the size of the image in your clipboard. The new single-window mode helps a lot.
