I did a few tutorials years ago. I realized that the way it did things was different from Photoshop and, in some ways, better. I could appreciate some of the design choices.

The problem is that most people learn PS first and then don't learn Gimp at all, and then when they find out Gimp doesn't work like Photoshop, they decide that it sucks.

I've been using it for decades.

If they'd make the macroing system idiot proof, maybe talk to some portrait photographers about how they use Photoshop and help them achieve their workflows, they could seriously shut down some Adobe.

Same! It's great! And weird. But mostly great!

I keep discovering new capabilities

Yo same!
