GIMP is painfully behind the times that I only use it out of sympathy for FOSS. I even prefer Photopea despite half the working area wasted on ads and browser UI.
Maybe that'll change one day.
Every single time Adobe is mentioned, everyone rushes to mention GIMP. I'm convinced 90% of them have never even opened GIMP before.
Because ten years ago GIMP was a good alternative to whatever version of Photoshop was out at the time. So those people ditched PS and used GIMP. But now Adobe has pumped tons of features into PS that the GIMP crowd doesn't even know about, so they still think the two are still comparable.
I still use GIMP exclusively but I'd be lying if I said watching others use Photoshop didn't make me jealous.
This makes me sad. I usually only use GIMP for programmer art. I didn't realize it was falling behind ๐
If it works for you that's great! it's sadly just not the photoshop contender it used to be ๐ฎโ๐จ
