There are some legitimately questionable design decisions in GIMP’s UI. One of my favorite is the layer palette which contains what looks like a bog standard list/table widget like a user has encountered countless time across desktop platforms and software since the 90s. That illusion breaks when you try to use it as a bog standard list widget — no, you can’t multi-select with Shift and drag the selection around, GIMP has its own unique process for that for no good reason. Things like that will cause friction even for users who aren’t coming from Photoshop, being different from established desktop UI conventions.
