Amen. I've used the Gimp for pre-press work once, I designed a cover image for a publication in the Gimp and used ImageMagick to convert it to CMYK, but had to download some proprietary colour profiles first. The only problem I have is that it can't convert PANTONE colours to RGB, but I guess that will never happen since Pantone is patented.

I use it all the time to design animated GIF banners (especially since the LZW patent has expired), something you can't do in Photoshop.
