I can't stand GIMP. It's the worst GUI for any Windows application I've ever used. It uses Linux standards on the wrong OS.

That's because it was a Linux application first. It was ported over to Windows as an afterthought.
I can't really badmouth GIMP, because there is absolutely nothing even in the same category. For most average users, GIMP works as well as Photoshop. It has a different style of UI (I wouldn't call it worse - just different and alien), but overall it's a VERY good open-source product.
I don't even think it's fair to compare the GIMP and Photoshop when you look at the price difference. I personally feel that Photoshop is superior, but if I had a budget of $0 I wouldn't be unhappy with being limited to the GIMP.
p.s. check out PAINT.net
