Hard to compare.

The two apps just have a different workflow..

    Well yeah I was answering for me though, not the whole internet.

    Gimp has a work flow that I can’t get into, photoshop clicks better. For you, it could be the opposite and that’s great.

    I’m not selling photoshop, I don’t even use either anymore. It would be stupid not to try to make gimp work for you first.

    Depends if you learn gimp or PS first.

    Like if you start life with Linux, windows seems weird

    Idk, I learned GIMP first for years, and kept being annoying how unintuitive it was.

    Then I tried Photoshop on a friend's computer for a week, and found how much easier it was to use.

    I don't use Photoshop though since I use Linux

    They aim to introduce that in version 3.0, which they say will be a complete overhaul of the app.

    Non-destructive editing through live adjustment layers is definitely the single most useful feature any editing software can have.

    That alone makes life so much easier.

    I remember people saying "3.0 is right around the corner" several years ago.

    I categorize GIMP 3.0 the same as ASOIAF, Star Citizen, and the Google Drive client for Linux. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I see it, but I ain't holding my breath.
