I think the main problem with GIMP is that it was made by developers with developers in mind, completely ignoring how digital artists work. Like it or not, everybody has to take pages from Photoshop (and co.) like how Affinity and Krita are doing, otherwise there's really no incentive to completely change your workflow.

    So much. Yes. How do we all agree on this and yet it hasn't sunk in after twenty five years?

    I mean, Blender got it. Be like Blender.

    Gimp never even needed to be as robust as Photoshop. All anybody needs is a OSS alternative to casually touch up a photo every now and then if you aren't forced by life to be one of Adobe's hostages. Just give me a vaguely Photoshop-like thing with a semi-competent context aware filter that isn't physically painful to use. Kryta and others will pick up the slack for all the painting stuff.
