This sort of question is subjective. If you are in a professional graphics designer job, you almost certainly will be using Photoshop; most employers are convinced that this software is the best because of its price tag. Otherwise, its a matter of the features that matter most to you as a user of the software. Some people prefer Photoshop, while others prefer Gimp.
Currently, Photoshop is trending 7 times higher than Gimp (according to Google Trends). This is a suggestion of market share/popularity rather than an answer to "which one is better". Many users enjoy the filters available in Photoshop, while "computer geeks" enjoy the easy extensibility of Gimp via modules (which are relatively easy to script). Both have an impressive array of features, including layers, animations, paths, color space editors/transforms, and so on.
Try a free trial of photoshop, and try a copy of Gimp. Make sure you get some tutorials for both so you can learn how to use them and make informed decisions. Many critics won't look at "free" software, so ratings can be deceptive.
