I've been a GIMP user for several years.

It's not as friendly as Photoshop, but it gets the job done and it is extremely flexible. I got so used to it that I can't switch back to Photoshop, even though I tried.

One major pain point for me though has been the 8 bits limit, which was the reason why I wanted to switch to Photoshop. I'm glad that they've worked on solving it.

This is an awesome release.

the Batch filter is what we are using a lot for web site image processing.
