or photo editing, in which case GIMP is better, and it's FOSS

GIMP is somehow worse than Photoshop and I have no idea why. Inkscape and paint.net exist. Hell Corel paint shop exists.

Why would you recommend GIMP when Krita exists

GIMP = Image Editing
Krita = Drawing and Painting

Serif's Affinity suite isn't free, but the UI is much more approachable than GIMP's. The maintainers also aren't being weirdly defensive about a name that's a pun of a slur or sex thing.

Affinity is hella cheap, all things considered. And once you authenticate your installed software, you never have to be online again to use it.

It's so nice, I'm definitely gonna buy it some day, unless GIMP and Scribus somehow manage to impress me until then. Inkscape is already great, but those two...

GIMPs UI is steaming hot pile of shit unfortunately. It's very powerful yes, but the UI is really hard to figure out.

There's a project by Diolinux called PhotoGimp, which aims to make Gimp look like Photoshop. It also changes all the keybinds to match those of PS.

I can’t wait for that steaming pile of hot UI garbage to be on the hottest of GUI toolkits that came out in 2011
