listen i'm not saying GIMP is useless but i am saying it's a misrepresentation to act like it's a perfectly acceptable 100% replacement for Photoshop and that its interface isn't totally fuckin busted. like sorry but i have been on Computer since 1994 and it is among the worst UIs i have ever seen
if you've *only* ever used GIMP it's a fish not knowing it's wet sort of situation, but for anyone coming in from PS it's more akin to hitting the water at terminal velocity
Every few years I go "I should learn GIMP" and I struggle along and stop after about 6 months trying to get it to do what I want. I've used so many different photo manipulation and art softwares since the 90s and GIMP remains the least easy to navigate and operate
