(insert his rant about Adobe’s abusive practices.)

there’s also James Lee’s take

Interesting how both mention GIMP. GIMP sucks, but at least it doesn't suck because some developer is pulling your rug, it's mostly the weird interface and lack of features. (At least it doesn't open three windows any more. Like it used to.)

Have you tried 3.0? It's nice and has some good QoL improvements.

3.0 doesn't really change the interface. But there's a good third party overhaul called PhotoGIMP that changes it quite a bit and makes it pretty nice to use.

There's also a plugin called Resynthesizer that adds in the ability to do content aware fill, and the G'mic plugin, which adds hundreds of interesting effects and tools (works with many applications, such as GIMP, Krita, AffinityPhoto, Paint.net, etc)
