Prefered animated gif creation tool?

Hello everyone,
What is you preferred animated gif creation tool for a forum ?

@Executed : Thanks a lot !

Also Gimp is a good choice. It allow to set some parameters, for example the duration of each frame, the behavior (loop, single cycle), etc.

Yeah. GIMP is what I have used in the past, but GIMP is … a challenge if you have never used it before.
