gimp is great if you are willing to convert your raw files to jpeg or tiff first.

I've just been using the Windows Live Photo Gallery for the things you are talking about and windows Paint if I want to do a touchup. I'm sure there are many better systems, but I find these to be the easiest for me to use. Old dog, old tricks.

Is there a "Paint.net for Dummies"? I tried to use it, but just got overwhelmed, couldn't find instructions I could make sense of and ended up going back to Windows Paint (not Paint.net)

There are some excellent tutorials on Youtube.
Here are just a few of them:

If you have Gimp (free, as you will know) it doesn't mean you have to learn about stuff you won't use. Just find advice on how to do what you want. If you progress and want to do more it'll be there waiting for you. As with any editor you'll have to learn how to do that particular thing and advice is here on the Hog and you Tube is full of it. Just don't think complicated!
Mike's comment is spot-on!
GIMP offers a truly high-class repertoire of pp features, but the price is right and there's no shame in using it only at your personal level of technical sophistication! There is an excellent book on using GIMP ...written, if I recall correctly, by a German who writes in exceptionally lucid English.
As your skills and an technical understanding increase, it will likely take you to whatever technical level at which you are comfortable.
