@conno02 hot take: people saying GIMP is the Alternative to Photoshop without saying its UX it's the most unusable ever. Even Krita or Affinity Photo/Designer have better user interfaces than GIMP.

I find GIMP so difficult to use, but I can't justify the expense of Photoshop for hobbyist use so I'm keeping at it. I wish there was something that at least had a similar UI. So many easy tasks in PS are crazy complicated in GIMP.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.
