  Why would anybody think it is a real alternative to upload your photos to website which is running proprietary garbage. Just use Adobe if you are going to do that.

    The first feature paragraph on the Photopea landing page: > There are no uploads. Photopea runs on your device, using your CPU and your GPU. All files open instantly, and never leave your device.

    I strongly prefer local software, but as someone coming from Photoshop who now only does the occasional edit (and therefore can't justify the price), I find Photopea to be a good alternative, especially since it closely mimics Photoshop's interface so I don't have to learn a new UI. Also, your images stay local on your computer and aren't uploaded to their servers. It's developed by a single guy, which I think is very impressive given how much of Photoshop's functionality it has. I just really wish it were open source (and not a web app).

Aren't they're used for slightly different things though? GIMP for image manipulation and Krita for digital drawing? (Krita is pretty awesome though, it's up there with Blender for me)

  Inkscape is also great and sits closer to Krita.

  What do you want to do in GIMP that Krita can't do with a better UI?

      Do you mean with the levels filter that Krita has, with the curves filter that Krita has, with the color balance filer that Krita has, with the slope, offset, power filter that Krita has, or with the hue/saturation/luma or red chroma/blue chroma/luma adjustment filter that Krita has?[1] They are all available as non-destructive filter layers, by the way, and Krita users had access to this way before GIMP 3.0 was released with non-destructive filters.

Honestly, I did not know that these existed in Krita (when I used Krita, I did not find them). However, I still stubbornly maintain that I answered the question sufficiently, which used the qualifier "with a better UI". Taking a leaf out of my wife's book "Even when I'm wrong, I'm right!* :-) (Yeah yeah, I know I was wrong)
