I am not familiar with any online image editors.  They seem to be quite useful with some experience and a lot more time fooling around with the buttons.  The editors that I chose did not seem quite as intuitive as GIMP, but serves their purpose in a pinch.  I can see Lunapic being a good stand-in for an offline editor in a professional setting if that is all you have to use.  In my own experience, it might do very well because I often do work on school computers and allows for a quick on-the-spot edit on any computer that might be available to me. Pixenate seems more "bare bones" in its features and I could see teaching my grandmother how to use it for her Holiday photos.  Neither would have been helpful in making a collage because, from what I could find, there was not a way to have multiple layers.
