For Linux, basically, there's GIMP and only GIMP.

It's actually a great program, once you get used to the quirks.  I've 
been using it for a number of years now (since around 1995 really).

The way I cope with the GIMP's UI is by opening it on its own virtual 
workspace and using sloppy focus.  I also have a few custom keybindings 
to often used things to help speed up the process (and to avoid the 
multi-nested right-mouse menus a little bit). 

Also, having a tablet can help with some procedures, although I need to 
get mine working again (upgrading the kernel or XFree86 often breaks 
support unfortunately, as the kernel driver does things it shouldn't do, 
for no reason).

Nope; not yet.
