The 'colour gradient'  (or color if you prefer) has become synonymous with Web 2.0.  You might loath it or love it but I think most people like it and it can add a bit of instant style to your site  (although it can be over-used).

And if you don't want to create the images you can download the 130 ultimate web 2.0 gradients for GIMP from gimp-tutorials.net.  Now I wonder just how long before everyone gets bored of gradients and it becomes a has-been style...

The more I use GIMP the more I like it and would heartily recommend it.  Someone suggested that it wouldn't match PhotoShop but a quick google on 'gimp vs photoshop' provides plenty of opinion.  The conclusion seems to be that GIMP would be suitable for most unless your doing professional graphics work - something do do with printing standards and colour palettes.  And of course GIMP runs on Mac and Linux
