Even the developers said their original reason for writing it was that Adobe Photoshop was so expensive. So, they "cloned" it. It's not an exact clone since Photoshop as advanced and added features faster than Gimp, but GIMP has all the features needed to do 99.9% of what is needed for repaints.
I have heard of a couple people actually doing their earliest repaints in MS Paint, but I wouldn't recommend it - even though I have seen a couple of those repaints and am in awe that they could accomplish what they did without using layers.

I use both GIMP and Paint.Net slaved to FS Repaint. Paint.Net is easier to use when adding layers like nose art or markings, Gimp has a better paint pallet. Using Repaint as an interface allows me to see my results on the fly.
