Having used both, I think that gimp is actually much easier than Photoshop. To prevent him from sending me 5Mb pictures over email, I showed my father how to shrink the size of pictures using both gimp and photoshop. Then I asked which he wanted to use and he went with gimp, which surprised me. But using it more, the menus do make a lot more sense in gimp than they do in photoshop. Think about a new graphics design person coming to photoshop. It is very much a learning curve, a higher one than gimp.
