Anybody know of a good (free) map generator?

Anyone have suggestions on a program for creating maps on grids?

It would be useful for an awful lot of different games, but I've never managed to find one that was even remotely user friendly. User friendly is a big deal here- I'm not patient enough to learn a complex program. I do enough of that at work.

Goblin King has a good tutorial for using GIMP to make hex grid maps here:
