Featured Download: GIMP 2.4 Offers New Features, Improved Interface
Lifehacker: "Windows/Mac/Linux: Open source image editing suite GIMP version 2.4 is now available and features a host of new goodies and long-awaited improvements. Chief among the new features are scaling for all kinds of brushes, intuitive selection and crop tools, a new object alignment guide and advanced tools like perspective cloning and lens distortion filters, but there are many more. GIMP is free, available already in some Linux repositories and for download for Windows and Mac users."

Having used Both Gimp and Photoshop extensively, I will say that while this release is closing the gap, it isn't doing so by much. The key stumbling point, which is the case with a lot of f/oss, is ease of use. That said, Gimp is much better than photoshop for certain things, mainly random pattern generation, starting from a blank canvas and ending up with something that looks really cool, and being able to write your own filters (more easily) is nice and allows more flexibility.
