The GIMP
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Half-assed open source piece of shit Photoshop knock-off, used by people too stupid to buy real software. MS Paint has more credibility.

[edit] Features
The screenshot at right is the most advanced version of GIMP. It contains features such as the paint brush, the pencil tool, and "Script-Fu". "Script-Fu" is an unknown feature that has marveled even its developers. To properly understand "Script-Fu," one must take a course in C++ and learn how to think in fractals instead of their native language. "Script-Fu" is an advanced feature for the Linux guru, and not to be taken lightly. As for the Pencil Tool, it can be said that the tool will undoubtedly revolutionize the way computers generate images. With the ability to vary the pixel-size of the pointer, you can create thin and thick lines. With time and effort, one can eventually create an immaculate piece of art.
Keep in mind that mspaint.exe, the Microsoft(R)(T)(C)(GTFO) image editor, while superior to the GIMP, does not master the concept of "Script-Fu."
[edit] Interface
It cannot be overstated how much the interface to the Gimp sucks. It uses three windows: one for drawing, one for toolbars, and one for more toolbars. GIMP may be able to do everything that Photoshop can, but you'll never be able to figure out how.
In other words, the name is very very appropriate (lol).
[edit] Gimp (l)users
A majority of GIMP users are either too stupid or pussy to pirate Photoshop from the internets or are Lunix users who could not comprehend Windows XP's superior intarface. GIMP is supported on multiple platforms, thereby providing wank fodder for GNU groupies who cannot install Lunix.
However, it should be well noted that it is perfectly possible to indeed run Photoshop on lunix! Yes, for those that require an alternative to Photoshop, you don't require one! Use wine to get Photoshop on Lunix! Also, if you don't know what wine is, kill yourself.
[edit] Mascot
It should be noted that the mascot of the GIMP project is a lame coyote looking thing or something like that. This proves that the GIMP was written by furries to allow their artistically inclined furry friends to create better furry porn.
