My Paint is awesome.  It's almost enough for my wife to not want Windows
or a Mac for drawing purposes. (She has a Thinkpad tablet, and we have
a Wacom that she used prior to getting the tablet.)

I must say, though, for young kids, it's hard to beat apps made specifically
for them, such as KidPix or (my own) Tux Paint. :)

An off-the-top-of-my-head analogy would be the little nuts-and-bolts
assembly toys for kids (Tux Paint) versus actually going out into the
garage and dismantling the car (Gimp, Photoshop, My Paint).  Ok, so that's
a BIT of an exaggeration. ;)

-bill!
PS - Next Tux Paint will include a number of (long-needed) accessibility
improvements!
