Might be a little overkill for what you're after, but GIMP has always been excellent for me!

Just cannot get on with it. Have tried a few times over the years.

The UX is abysmal to the point of being user-hostile, the name of the software is an abelist slur, and also has sexual connotations (the founders are aware of both issues with the name, with the latter being the intention behind the name, and explicitly no intentions of addressing the former). There's just nothing positive about it whatsoever.

Just fork it and make a better UX then (and give it a better name than the current one).

somebody forked gimp a few years ago but I don't think they had the steam to keep up

Because forking a huge software project is a massive undertaking
