Wow! I have been looking for gimp alternatives or specific ways of doing things on gimp, compared to photoshop and most answers have been very honest and helpful!
Even gimp development team are open for suggestions but won't consider them before releasing version 3 that should release 'very soon'
inkscape in my opinion is intuitive to use, maybe because before I was used to Photoshop
Well, at least you don't have to suck dicks or whatever to vote and post comments like in ShitStackOverflow
Uh huh, uh huh. And how many dicks do I ~~get~~ have to suck per vote? Can you provide a link and very detailed instructions on the process? You know, so I can make sure I never go there before my wife comes home from work.

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.
All school programs are basically bought and paid for by big business. Adobe, MS, all control their bottom line this way. So of course they’ll only teach you MS Office and Photoshop.
it's accurate though.
The amount of PS users i see trying gimp for all of about 2 seconds and then shitting themselves when it isn't exactly the same as PS is funny to me.
There are important technological differences i suppose, but i rarely see people complain about that.
GIMP is a monster, as is PS. There is no getting around it.
Show me how to change 1 pixel in an image. I'd actually be truthfully thankful and will consider to try to use gimp again (last time I tried the mouse didn't position/choose the zoomed in pixels correctly).
Show me how to open an image, make a small modification, then:
(step 2) save it and close GIMP under 10 clicks.
They deliberately changed so you can't save your modified image? I mean WTF? You have to export it with all the popups as you overwrite, hold your breath, the image that you opened and want to save!!1!.
Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.
It's like they don't want people to switch. And it's such a shame as the soft is getting better and better all the time.
Photopea dot Com is pretty solid and it's a website not a download. Has good complexities for the non profesional that wants to do more but doesn't need or want photoshop.
The amount of times I see, "Have you tried just googling it?" As a response to a tech issue is too damn high.
The best part is seeing those answers in threads that I got to by googling my question.
"Thank you for your helpful advise of 'just Google it' I've now found dozens of threads with that exact same answer to the question I have."
