I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.
I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.
There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.
Could just use GIMP at that point.

“Why would I want to use Notepad?”
Gimp is not intuitive at all. Krita or Paint.net are good free alternatives and Affinity photo is great (but not free)
Affinity is free as of a couple weeks ago. And there’s talk of a Linux native version being considered iirc.
Requires a free license, so the old adage about you being the product probably applies.
Oh is it? TIL
Now if only they could make a Lightroom alternative Id be really happy
I’ve tried. SO many times. It’s just so damn clunky. I ended up using Krita (also FOSS) instead.
