I found paint.net a much better experience than GIMP. Now, I'm not that into photo editing, but it's a much easier user experience for me.

An example being that you don't need a 7 step solution just to deselect something. You can just click outside of the canvas.

Does it have all the bells and whistles of GIMP? Eh, not really, but there is a forum where people make individual packages for it, and there are a lot.
