GIMP on the Mac is just okay at best (I've upgraded my assessment of 
it from "sucks completely") as everything seems to take two clicks, you 
have to run it under X11 and it neither looks nor behaves like a standard 
Mac app.

Inkscape is blue language-inducing (I would so love to have Freehand 
back), so it can't be used around the kiddies.

I actually like Audacity, but I probably have low standards because for 
the longest time the only audio app I had access to was Adobe's 
SoundEdit...

YMMV.
