I'll admit I probably haven't given the GIMP enough of a chance.
Tried it once about 10 years ago. There were a few features I use all the time that didn't seem to be there so I went back to Photoshop.
I think it was something with layer blending modes and complex brushes (scatter, dual brush, etc.)
Of course, given how long ago that was, they may both have all the same feature sets now, just in a different flavor.

So, yes, try everything (especially the free programs) to find what works for you.

Thank you for the addition, Mark.
