I did not know any other similar software, I learned Gimp first, so I have no previous bias. I use GIMP for simple things like fixing bad lighting in a picture, cropping or removing backgrounds. I think the most complicated thing I did was using the resinthesizer plugin to remove some objects in a photo.
Unpopular opinion, but I think the UI/UX works just fine? It never got in the way of what I wanted to do, and now I am familiar with where all the options are.

- jwrallie 2y agoI definitely agree. I think this is something that is not so obvious at first glance, specially for software that is seen as less capable. The fact something is a well known free software program ensures a few extra features: it’s more likely to still exist in 5 years, you will still have a license to use it in 5 years, you can have it available on all of your computers and it is likely just one package manager command away from being available. I just saw the other day a coworker fighting up with an MS Excel that refused to open a .csv file because it could not find a license. I asked him why not use LibreOffice in the meanwhile. He looked to me like I was crazy and asked if it had better features. Well, yes, it does have more features than Excel without a license and yes, the .csv importer has more features and will help you select the limiters with a nice preview and organize the column width automatically after importing.
