	my version:	2.2.8
	why i like it: This program is a perfect Photoshop replacement for me. I never really used Photoshop like a power-user, so I don't truly know the differences, I suppose. However, this program seems quite solid, and has support for everything I enjoyed in photoshop: intuitive layers support, intuitive pallettes/toolbars, supports lots of filetypes, etc, etc.
