I tried. I really tried to like GIMP. The main reason I don't like it is because it's trying so hard to be a professional picture editor and the UI.

Why can't I deselect things? Why does something need to be selected at all times? Let me just click a button and remove the selection outline and deselect things.

No. I won't help the dev team because I can't code to save my ass. I turn wrenchs and fix things for a living.

I use other, simpler pic editors. Why should I learn to fly a Boeing 747 when a Cessna 172 will get me where I need to go? I'm making a shit post once every three months, not professional art.

You can deselect all with CTRL + SHIFT + A and deselect a specific part by changing the selection mode from replace or additive to subtract.

imagine locking deselection behind a keybind nobody will know about

It's literally at the top of the select menu
