Agreed. I am willing to pay for a Photoshop license out of pocket than getting paid to use GIMP. Every time someone says "use GIMP" I wonder how much time they have spent designing/drawing anything and what level of experience they have. It is not a matter of different UX -- it is a matter of whether the UX makes sense at all. GIMP stands in your way of productivity. And I notice UX is a big problem for GNU software from that era, and to some extent community driven open source software in general. Of course there are notable exceptions like IINA, but often it is like "we have this feature" and are done with it and nobody bothers to work on improving the UX.
