lower yourself to The GIMP? Are you insane? The Gimp is an amazing program. Have you even tried it, beyond looking at the interface for 10 minutes and uninstalling it? And lower yourself?! You won't _lower_ yourself by using a non-name brand software, but you'll gladly become a theif.
If you're 15 and broke you have no reason to be using photohsop, dreamweaver, illustrator, and the like. It's not like you're stealing because you have to, you're stealing because you're selfish and ignorant. Ignorant to the fact that people work their asses off to provide top quality work and you refuse to compensate them for their efforts. The Gimp is an incredibly generous offer, all that hard work and quality programming and you snuff it.
There's a free alternative to every program on that list (excluding Flash), stealing is not an option.
