Gimp is great for when you need photoshop, but aren't doing it as your job, and don't want to sail the seven seas.

Also, Fwiw when I want to outline text in gimp i select a text path, make a new layer, select from path, expand the selected area 2px, then fill (oh and move the layer behind the text layer). Unike in photoshop where theres like... one step, iirc.

I'd rather use photopea a quadruple time before installing GIMP.
Hell I even use Ps CS2 at work because Adobe unlocked the activation (and removed the page from the archive. org with the u lock keys) for free.
Great enough for the few graphics I want to do and at home I use properly sailed goods.

Yeah I agree, I used to use it when I was a student who couldn’t afford photoshop and I was able to create some awesome graphics.

Once I got used to photoshop (I used it from CS2 to CS5) I couldn’t get back into GIMP. The hot keys and mental model were just so much better in PS and PS clones.
