Hey thanks for your comment . Actully I have used 3dmax, Photoshop, and those other fun things. Usally at school and to a point where I feel pretty fluent in them. I would say that Gimp rates right up there with photoshop. The area which I wish Gimp would close in on PS is in the interface department. The one area I like about PS vs Gimp is that PS is a container where gimp is all over the place. So I like the feel of PS, but the features are pretty much the same across the board. (PS has more none that I seem to need but would probaly enjoy ) Blender vs the licensed stuff; blender will always lose out just because the other licensed programs are much better from what ive used. However i've used blender since it was in its infancy, and I guess i've become attached to it in a way! So I keep coming back to it even though i've got other stuff on my pc (mostly for modeling.) For both Blender and GIMP I enjoy just screwing around in them and usally its screwing around that finds stuff I hadn't used before (Hell I didn't know you could do a straight line in Gimp, found out by pressing shift you could do it so you learn something new everyday )

thanks for the in depth reply! Just downloaded both those programs recently, so was just wondering what someone with experience thought. Its nice to know they make a viable option, and that they are being developed by the end users? It's a much better attitude anyhow. Now it's just a case of ploughing through the tutorials! haha.. happy drawing!

For the community devolopment stuff. I think gimp has kind of slowed, or at least by the looks of the page it has slowed. Blender on the other hand is completely 'now' freeware open-source. It was dying when Not a Number went out of business and someone went and asked for money from the community so that they could buy it and put it up as open source. The scheme worked and now we've got open source goodness

Tutorials tutorials... im still finding features cause im arrogent and feel like I dont need tutorials! I do look through some blender ones from time to time becuase new features are being added. I've writen a few gimp tutorials and if you know photoshop its not to diffucult to learn gimp. (In fact you can use gimp in most photoshop tutorials and vice versa (Minus some plug ins notabily the plastic wrap one hehe ))
