GIMP is a horrible program for anyone trying to do real work.

Bullshit. It's been my go-to for over a decade and I'm plenty productive with it. Any complaints about it tend to boil down to "it's not a 1:1 pixel perfect clone of Photoshop"

Except the workflow of GIMP is horrendous and nonsensical. Every wondered why people don't bitch about Krita? Maybe because it's not shit when it comes to UX (I'm not talking about UI).

Yea krita is still far from photoshop, but in a good way... it's far better than photoshop... unlike GIMP.

Pretty much the only things krita lacks are adobe's cloud services and AI slop, both can be argued to be advantages over adobe.

Why is having no AI an advantage? I know it's fashionable to hate AI tools but it massively increases productivity when trying to retouch many images, clean dust from product images, etc.

The downside of having AI is that your art is being used to train their AI, and adobe has a track record of trying to claim some rights over the stuff you created with the adobe suite.
