There are so many things you can do with Gimp, but sometimes, you just want a quick and easy click and point kind of thing. Maybe you're pressed for time, or - more likely, you just want to experiment and see what's out there.
Scripts and brushes )
Don't forget the read the README notes with each collection. They usually include installation instructions.

Have fun.

When I move a selection or a layer I sometimes just want to move it one or two pixels in one direction, and that is really hard with the mouse. Is there a way I can just grab something and then tell it exactly how I want to move it in coordinates, or even use the arrow keys or something like that?

I thought I'd share some resources and tutorials of mine with y'all, if that's okay.
The Digital Art Notes page contains a number of GIMP tutorials; some of them are step-by-step tutorials, but more of them are "notes", hence the name of the page. I made them that way because I figured that if I stopped to make full tutorials for everything, I'd never make any of them, and that even having guidelines rather than tutorials would be better than nothing.

GIMP resources (brushes and patterns) are some brushes and textures I've made for GIMP. The brushes are icon brushes (100x100) for "fancy borders"; it would be lovely if people found them useful.

I've found an interesting article featuring how you can make GIMP a good Photoshop replacement option. Obviously, it's directed towards people who might still have doubts about using GIMP, but the article is also worth reading by people who already use GIMP (on a regular basis). The article explains how you can install plug-ins, brushes and filters, how you can install layer styles (layer effects), how to add CMYK color ceparation, what to do to install liquid rescale (the altering of an image without distortion) and the GIMP animation package, how to anchor GIMP's loose docks and toolbars if you don't like them, and how you can easily enable GEGL (Generic Graphical Library).

At the end of the article, there's also a link list of resources including 11 different GIMP brushes and a tutorial about how you can create your own brushes, and 30+ GIMP tutorials & resources.

Paint Studio is a collection of brushes, presets and other useful bits for the Gimp. They are now being hosted on Google Code, so it's a wee bit easier to keep track of what's current.
