Sometimes you don’t want the power of Photoshop (or you don’t want to fork out the money for it).
The Gimp doesn’t quite do it for me. Even GimpShop. It is just different enough to drive me crazy from time to time. The default selection tool color of yellow baffles my mind (yellow on white, nice and easy to see!).
I am always on the lookout for something good to take care of the simple tasks.
Picnik is surprisingly good for the uber-simple tasks (resizing, rotating, etc) but as soon as you want to chop and change you want to go elsewhere.
I was happy to hear about Seashore which uses code from The Gimp, but seems to be a lot nicer to use. A nice addition for the middle of the road tasks.

The good folks at Plasq are about to release Skitch, http://plasq.com/skitch. Seems like a good one as well.
