If you're on windows XP or higher, give Paint.net a try: http://www.getpaint.net/

They even have a PSD plugin: http://psdplugin.codeplex.com/

A big problem with Paint.net IMO is that they don't support pressure-sensitive tablets at all (like Wacom tablets).

This is an absolutely essential feature for any serious graphics work. GIMP is far better at the same price (free) and also supports PSD.

I got the impression that Paint.NET was abandoned.

It's not, it's just that progress towards 4.0 has been slow:
