I think PS is a lot more intuitive than GIMP, as someone who also has used Linux and GIMP from a young age (though dual booting windows for most of my childhood, for pirated PS as one of the main reasons). I would love it if GIMP could get to PS’s level but tbh I don’t think they ever will just due to lacking the resources Adobe has. I don’t use PS anymore as I avoid proprietary software whenever at all possible (and I no longer have any windows machines and pirated PS is iffy on wine last time I tried) so I’m going to continue with GIMP, but yeah I still don’t think it holds a candle to the power and ease of use of PS unfortunately.
Meh, always done what I need and I find easy enough.
I’ve been in rooms for people forced to switch from PS to GIMP for corporate cost cutting. Every time I went to help someone on something else (animation or exporter related), I’d hear “GIMP can’t do X” and “GIMP can’t do Y”. I’d go over and show it could and how. It was never even stuff that hard. Layer stuff often. GIMP gets a lot of hate I just don’t think is justified.

“GIMP works differently than I am used to”
Same goes for Blender, Libre Office, Thunderbird and many other tools
Exactly. I don’t even think it’s that different to be honest, it’s just not identical to PS and comes from a different windowing school of thought.
