I'm a big fan of Photoshop, i agree that it can be quite intmidating at first, but it is worth learning and there are plently of sites out there with a lot of tutorials to get you started, deviantart (a site i spend far to much time on) has a good range of tutorials that can really help you get a solid grip on that and a range of other art based programs.
Photoshop is probably the best graphics editor in the market, but not necessarily the best one for the web.
I personally think the best graphics editor for the web is Fireworks. I have both and I use Photoshop for complex stuff and for off-line stuff, but when it comes to web graphics Fireworks has a clear edge in speed, easy of use and features.
>>which program would you all suggest to be best for designing web pages?
I hate to beat on a dead horse, but the best way to go about a web page is to do it by hand. However, few people can actually code a site by hand and end up with something good.
I usually start my designs in Fireworks, just to see how I want the site to look like. Then I code it by hand and export some of the images. The result is a site that looks like what has been designed in the graphics program but has all the functionality one would expect from a webpage.
