I'll admit, adjusting to all the tools and layout and figuring out how everything works in Photoshop is difficult. I mean, I've been using it since… I was to say my freshman year of high school and literally today I just figured out how to manipulate multiple layers at the same time. I'm still learning how to use this program, but it's great because it makes it a lot easier for me to manipulate things.

Granted, I haven't tried much else because I did get Photoshop for free so I figured why spend money to get anything else, but as far as I what I'm used to, I think Photoshop is the best for me.

Also, pro-tip for spriting in photoshop. If you want to give the picture a transparent background, make sure to paste the initial image on a transparent canvas (photoshop has that option when you create a new project). There are three tools that can be used: magic wand, whip tool, and background eraser. DO NOT USE THE MAGIC WAND TOOL!!! It is only to be used for deleting picture backgrounds and it's not even that useful then. It deletes colors in the actual sprite image and causes distortion in the image as well. Whip can be useful but often poses the same threat to sprites at the wand. Background eraser is the best because unless you tell it to, it won't distort the image itself at all.
