I have to comment on the fact that many of the Open Source software programs (i.e. Gimp, Open Office, etc.) do not seem to have all of the nifty computer shortcuts that the proprietary versions (Photoshop, Microsoft Office) do. Either the open source programs DO have shortcuts, but they are simply different from the proprietary programs -- which would necessitate learning them all over again -- or they just aren't there.

It has most of the same features as it's Adobe counterpart. It's not web-based like the other tools you listed (good list, I have to try some of those), so you have to install it on your machine. But it works pretty well and is my default editor since I don't have the money for Adobe products. Good post! Also check out http://www.gimp.org/
