^ I pretty much agree with Tomm.

Blender, Inkscape, and Krita are good, with some rough edges here and there.

I really really dislike GIMP. It has to be the worst experience that I have ever had with using software. Maybe there is an irony in the name from it's original creators. It seems to me that a piece of software couldn't provide such a terrible interface along with such a capable feature set unless it was designed that way intentionally. This is purely speculation, but I have always suspected that GIMP was created to turn people away from free software - a sort of poisoned troll offering that got maintained by others, for whatever reasons. And if it wasn't, it is that bad to arouse such suspicion.
