Yeah, I totally agree. Honestly, I just want to see people start switching away from Adobe, so it is really important to have an alternative workflow that can realistically and accurately be sold as ‘professional’ and Gimp doesn’t cut it for many highly demanding uses. I have had no problem editing 20-30+ layer 24 megapixel 16 bit projects in Affinity Photo, while Gimp struggles at 4 layers at same resolution and bit depth.
Not to say Gimp is trash, when I was a Highschool student with no disposable income, I made a lot of cool things in Gimp, albeit in lower resolution and at 8 bit, and I think all public library/ business/ academic computer labs should have Gimp installed when there is no budget for paid graphics apps, if for nothing more than convenience.
