I’ve been using GIMP for 15 years and it’s a great tool for image editing. It doesn’t have the cool AI functions that Photoshop had even before generative AI became a thing, but for most common and advanced image editing needs, it’s a perfectly suitable tool.
To be fair, I’ve never used Photoshop. I’ve started using GIMP as an edgy teenager in 2010 to create the 4chan memes your parents laughed at back then. I’d probably think different about GIMP if I ever had the sweet taste of Adobe, but since I didn’t, I don’t know what I’m missing.

AI or not GIMP is garbage. Basically every new normie opens it up, sees the interface and nopes out back into Photoshop

Actually most people don’t pay for or pirate Photoshop and most people need at least light photo editing
In that case, user nopes out and goes back to Paint
No serious photographers use Paint.
