There are loads of different apps, each with strengths and weaknesses. The most obvious is PhotoShop/ImageReady. ImageReady can make nice looking gifs using movie files (better then Animation Shop) and you can switch between Image Ready and Photoshop to edit them (it's little known fact that Photoshop has the animation window too and is much nicer to edit stuff in then ImageReady, that's only real job is to export stuff for the web). Also GIMP works and is (legally) free, but you get what you pay for. To properly edit movie files you need Something like Sony Vegas, but there's Virtual Dub which is basic but is also free can should cover everything you need for /gif/. If you want to animate yourself from scratch there's apps ranging from Flash (vector based industry standard) to EasyToon (freeware that makes those nutty black and white gifs you see here)
