  • As others have mentioned, it’s simple things takes alot time finding/figuring out.

    I use GIMP within Ubuntu MATE few times a week to edit pictures. Simple edits nothing major.

    One of the thing I need regularly is to highlight certain part of the picture.

    Now in Microsoft Paint I can draw a rectangle, choose its border thickness, and color in 2 seconds.

    I have learned how to do the same in GIMP few times but it took alot of time and I still forgets after few weeks.

    So now I just reboot the PC and log into Windows or use Windows virtual machine and draw rectangle in 2 seconds in Microsoft Paint.

    Mine is extremely simple use case, so I can only guess how difficult or how time consuming it would be for actual professional to create artistic work in GIMP vs Photoshop (or in similar commercial software).

    Just my 2 cents.
