If you're lazy and impatient like me, you want to learn quick, cheap and easy methods for game and texture making.

An alternative/supplement to texture making programs is to use a standard paint program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

I've been experimenting with making decent textures from scratch.
By using a blank canvass and effects like ADD NOISE, BLUR, EMBOSS, COLORIZE, etc. you can make a variety of textures.

It just takes a little experimenting and imagination.
Here are a few I made with Pixlr.com...
