I've been using it since version 1 on Windows 3.1 with Win32s installed.
It has only gotten better over the years, and is still one of my "must have"
applications on any of my PCs.

I've been using it for at least 10 years. For the simpler things, it is so much quicker than loading any of the 'full blown' image editors. If all you need to do is crop or resize, you'll be done before Photoshop even loads.
I've been using IrfanView for over 10 years. It loads lightning fast and is great for resizing. It also does a fantastic job with jpeg compression. I use it as my default image viewer.
I found Irfanview years ago and never found any need to ever look for anything else in its class. I don't a lot of image editing, but everything I've wanted to do, I've been able to do - easily - with it.
I have advocated Irfan View long and loudly in the school I work at in Perth, WA. The number of student Photoshop projects that have been rescued by IV reading a corrupted header or renaming a file that PS would not reopen has saved many a student's (and teacher's) sanity. A top little programme.
I use GIMP and Photoshop. Just curious. the interface looks ok but missing MANY tools that GIMP and PS hav had for years.
I will download and try just curious as to how it compares with PS & GIMP.

Gimp and Photoshop are (imo) high-end editors. You can do gradients, layers, drop shadows... lots of advanced image editing. With IrfanView , it's good for quick edits like cropping, image bit depth, image color correction, simple drawing for making images for a tutorial, etc. I have to edit grayscale images for IP phones, and they have to be a particular side, and 4-bot grayscale. I can do it in Gimp just fine, but I can do it in IrfanView much faster. IrfanView loads quicker too. Also, I keep pictures of some remote equipment, and using the mouse wheel in IrfanView to scroll through the images is a lot more convenient than Gimp, or even windows.
I've been using IrfanView since 1996. Its a great little app. Its non-intrusive, running without messing with the Windows registry so you can use it as a portable app. (I carry it on a flash drive with PortableApps.) I still use GIMP for fancy edits. (I gave up on the way over-priced Photoshop last year when I switched to Windows 7.) IrfanView runs quickly and is great for resizing images, adjusting the colour, batch jobs, croping, etc. You can get a number of plugins. Two of my favourites are the lossless rotation and cropping.
I wouldn't do without it. Hmmm, I'm running version 4.25. Time to update to the latest.

Sorry, as soon as listed can be run under Linux using wine and not as a native Linux app, you lost me......
Don't laugh, but I'm still using MS Digital Image Suite, ca. 2006. it's not that bad and better than that horribly hard-to-use Photoshop. So what that Photoshop "does everything". It's a nightmare to use and has a UI from the 1980's. Same thing happenened to the the old typesetters. Gone without trace.
Infran looks like a real deal, at least for 2011.

It's easy to use, loads rapidly, is reliable and flexible. I don't need more than that.
I've needed more than Irfanview is capable of only once in the last seven years and that need was beyond my capabilities as well. I sprang for the graphic artist.
