Aviary is flying now!
Three Aviary image editing tools are now out of beta and for everybody to use.  I especially like Peacock, which takes something from the video world (nodal compositing) to create new iterations on images.

The more like these appear the more competiton Adobe has and … (that was uncalled for, sorry) Now Aviary has Phoenix, image editing (Photoshop without the bloat), Peacock (something different) and Toucan (color tools). Raven for vector graphics is in alpha. 3D, DTP, Video editing, and much more are coming. For free!
