I don't think anyone working in print would use Gimp, though?

  Naaah... For better or worse we're all set up with our Adobe Creative Clouds...

    The Affinity suite - now for $80 due to Black Friday - is a viable competitor to Photoshop for many applications. It's much better than Gimp.

      That's true, I got one myself, but as everybody is educated and trained on Adobe products switching is not that easy.

  why is that though? isn't that the bulk of the criticism? bad UX and lack of features needed for print?

    I guess - of course it's a chicken-egg sort of a problem. No one's going to use it for print, before it has print-related capabilities - the same can be said for much of the UX, in general.

  The reason they didn't use GIMP is because they couldn't use GIMP. It simply didn't have necessary capability. When I was working in prepress, I would have done anything to use GIMP. That desperation to escape Photoshop is why Affinity took off. If Inkscape could get a UI for precision positioning, something you could e.g. design an entry form in; and Scribus could polish up, I think a lot of people would move to a FOSS workflow.
