Pixelmator is my go-to OS X alternative.

Massive fan of Pixelmator, my #1 goto option on OSX. Very few apps have Pixelmator's quality and polish.

Paint.NET is a great option on Windows for quick and easy graphic work, has been enough to keep me off Photoshop (as a web dev) for years.

What got me to buy Pixelmator was the amount of instructional material they provide on their website, that is well laid out and easy to follow.

I second Pixelmator. It's great for simple edits, and also provides some of the more complex, Photoshop-esque tools. Also pretty fast.

+1 for Pixelmator, but there is also Acorn, quite popular.

Seashore isn't too bad either, http://seashore.sourceforge.net

Yep, I like (and own and use) Pixelmator but before I was willing to pay money for something, Seashore was my go to app for basic editing.

My understanding is that it's bits of the GIMP processing engine with a nicer UI.

That would be a non-free alternative...
