Of course, The Gimp ain't gonna replace PS as the industry standard, but for the home user, I think The Gimp is a fantastic tool - you get PS-style tools at GNU-style prices. I use it under Linux (as does every other Linux user I know) and would recommend it to Windoze users over Paint Shop Pro any day.

We are lucky for a whole lot more reasons than the GIMP
I'm certain that part of the reason Apple went for an open-source UNIX core when re-designing Mac OS was to increase the amount of useful, free software available to Mac users. It is now relatively easy to port from Linux to Mac OSX. In the long term, 'lack of software' will become less and less of a barrier to those who know Macs are superior but can't quite bring themselves to own one
