Can someone once and for all please explain what "w00t" means?

Photoshop is damned good, but overpriced... dare I mention the GIMP? It's nowhere near as full of functionality as Photoshop, but seeing as it's about $600 cheaper, I think it's worth a shot.[/token Linux plug]

Truth is, most people don't need to splash out on Photoshop unless there's something very heavy needs doing. I'm using a semi-legit copy of 5.5, and it's got plenty of features that I'll never see myself using, as well as some that I find essential (such as the excellent "save for web" option), but I don't consider it to be worth the money for what I'd use it for - most of the stuff I do could be done on other progs (such as the GIMP), although perhaps not as easily. Hey ho.
