A couple of years ago I was doing a fair bit of image resizing and padding (desktop wallpaper). Experimentation revealed that IM had a host of annoying off-by-one-ish bugs. For example, I couldn't ask for an image to be padded by zero pixels (on one axis - non-zero on the other, thus the need for padding); I needed to bogusly pad by at least one pixel and then crop it away again. GM had all that stuff fixed.
Also, I have long been offended by IM's rather gratuitous pollution of the command space with "convert", "display" and suchlike very generic names. The "gm" command is the Right Thing to do.
