Mandatory "use GIMP: is free and open source" comment

The only problem with GIMP is that is comes with every sensible keyboard shortcut mapped to some random function you use once in a lifetime.

Can you give an example? The defaults seem perfectly sensible to me.

The other problem is that if it's on your resume, I'm not hiring you.

Yeah it really sounds like i wouldn't want to work for you.

BRB, putting GIMP my resume.

I use GIMP but it's annoying how the keyboard shortcuts are totally different and I'm used to photoshop

Just pirate Adobe and get the best of both worlds.

I justify the use of Adobe for professional use cases, like "I have to print a label with a specific set of colors and GIMP has bad CYMK support".
If you have to put a signature where there isn't one or stuff like that, GIMP is more than good for the job and in the meanwhile you're helping a community project to grow.
