Nothing wrong with it. But why have two tools when you can use one? 
I use Corel Painter IX.5 combined with Photoshop 5. Plenty of reasons to have both installed too, since there are specific things the other application can't do. 
If people can't afford this software, then go with TheGimp. It's good and plenty of tutorials available on the net too. If anyone has a small budget, then buy Painter IX.5 and use TheGimp for the PS related things. If you want access to all nice features, buy both Photoshop and Painter IX.5 and you'll be more than set to go.  (btw. an old PS version will do ... it's not that CS3 is really amazingly much improved over PS7 or 8 ... or even PS5)

So it is useless to discuss it at the end. I will not buy this software for 2000 $ when I can use GIMP for free.
Well, you can buy a Photoshop CS2 legally for 800€ already, any version below PS7 will come quite cheap actually if you look at the right places (and yes all legal too).

When I save a file in PS and open it in Lightwave or in GIMP (so it is not a Lightwave only problem ) then the colors changed.
That's because TheGimp uses a CYMK color palette by default, in Photoshop you can choose which one to use but default is RGB-colors. It has little to do with the psd nor tga format.
