Gimp is OK and really not very hard to get used to. It's big advantage is price, and for a lot of people who don't want to use an editor professionally, that is a big consideration.
The major downside is that it doesn't do CMYK, so you can't use it to prepare anything for commercial printers.

(And yes, Ramfir CS3 is the latest. So? Most users use about 15% of PS anyway, and whilst the new tools in CS3 are pretty fab, how many people want to accurately desaturate pictures for adjusted B/W representation to the extent CS3 allows...as an example? I love it, but like a lot of software it has become bloated. CS2 is great, hell I could get a result in PS4, which I still have somewhere.)
