I haven't used Photoshop; learned basic photo editing in GIMP (as a poor student, I appreciated a powerful, free editor). So, no complaints about the UI from me. If anything, I'd probably bitch about the Photoshop UI if I ever used it.

One thing that concerns me a little, however, is the third-party integration with Nik Collection. The second version, which I'm still using, was provided for free by Google. They later sold the software, and the new company commercialized it. I found it difficult to track down the v2 installer, so I'm now keeping it on multiple backups, in multiple locations, as one of my most treasured software possessions.

Whilst Gimp is technically powerful, you can really tell it's made by programmers. I cannot stand the UI and shortcut defaults, but maybe I'm damaged from having used Photoshop a couple times.

Krita exists and it's way more robust than the abomination that is GIMP

They serve different functions

GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.

I've used it as my primary raster app so I'm way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.

The damn thing was written by a couple of College Students who had no experience with graphic arts and man does it show. The UI has been the number #1 complaint since the 1.0 release back in 1998; how it's never been updated / overhauled is simply beyond me.

It looks good to me...
