The sad part is that CMYK color space is really important (and that is just one little part) to be able for a tool to be used in the professional print world. There are printing houses mainly for consumers who really don’t care what you throw at them. But these companies have technical designers (I don’t know the correct term for a photoshop user who only works with colorspace correction etc) who prepare the media for print.
In smaller print houses there is a stricter process. They define tight requirements what you can send to them. And PDF with all the bells in whistles in the correct colorspace etc is defacto standard. So for an FOSS tool it is sadly a lot work to implement all these things to support the print Workflows which are dominated by Adobe.
The question is if this must come from a single tool. Photoshop is already a tool with too many faces.
