inkscape in my opinion is intuitive to use, maybe because before I was used to Photoshop
Isn't that more for vector graphics though? Not really an equivalent.
I may be wrong

Its not free (but way cheaper than Photoshop) and unfortunately not available on Linux but Affinity Photo is very good

Local schools are offering "image editing" courses, which is always just learning how to use Photoshop. They are 4 3-month courses. People just need to accept they think Photoshop is easy because they've using it for so long and they're used to it.
Good news is that since recently they also offer the courses with GIMP.

anyone who has ever used image editing software professionally knows gimp's ui sucks very much.
we could have had an opensource photoshop killer if the developers werent adamant to keep the 90s workflow holding it back for so damn long.
"you are using it wrong!!" my ass.

I've been using GIMP for so long and I don't know how to use Photoshop so all the "weird" things about GIMP is normal for me.
Also feel like if I learn Photoshop, I'll never touch GIMP again. D:
You chose the gimp life!
I learned Photoshop, then I learned GIMP. There's nothing wrong with GIMP, it's a perfectly good software. People just only put in effort to learn something if they pay a corporation. If something's free, they think it's supposed to be no effort to learn. But they have no problem putting in the same effort to a premium software.
I've tried using GIMP and it absolutely sucks and I wish there was a good paint.net replacement.
Something I found about a lot of open source projects is that the UI is always terrible
Krita is pretty good.
I do get, why people dislike GIMP. It has a bit of a steep learning curve. And approaches things uniquely.
But for a FOSS paint equivalent: have you tried Pinta? It's much less complicated, and the UI isn't too bad.
Based on the screenshots I see, it looks a lot better. I'll give it a try, thanks!
To be fair, you can’t exactly ask for a GIMP replacement on r/GIMP and not expect that reaction
