What graphic programs do you use?

What graphic design programs do you use, and why do you mostly use them?

I personally use Photoshop CS6 Extended since it works out amazingly for me, and was given to me for free by my old school.

I also use the same for my work. I use Photoshop CS6 Extended, but since I cannot afford it, I just downloaded a portable version of it. I think it functions just as almost the same as the paid one, though with limited features that I won't even mind to use. Again, it is user-friendly and easy to the eyes, so I really use PS for all the needs that I have in my work.

I use GIMP 2, totally the best free programs out there, and very simple to use.

I use Photosop and Illustrator. They have so much tools that I want to.

Photoshop is the best. Illustrator for drawing though

Currently I'm using Photoshop CS6 to make gfx! It's a great program to use!
