Assuming that by "high priced commercial version" you mean Photoshop, two details: * GIMP developers and many GIMP users are not expecting to replace Photoshop in any way. * It's very unprobable that you can find a bunch of applications that can replace everything that Photoshop can do. For many of us, GIMP is free software and Photoshop isn't. Full stop.
