I don't have a problem with Adobe charging what it does for Photoshop. It's a professional tool designed (and priced) for professionals. Most home users don't need Photoshop.
I am, admittedly, at the shallow end of the gene pool when it comes to image editing. Once a year when I create the Zicato family photo Christmas card, I fire up Gimp and muddle through. The rest of the year, I get by just fine with Preview - an app the comes with OSX.
For those with more mid-range needs there are lots of free or low cost alternatives: Paintshop Pro, Pixelmator, etc. A google search for Photoshop alternatives will turn up lots of choices.
