That’s probably for three reasons:
- some “interesting” UI decision in GIMP
- force of habits
- GIMP is not a replacement for photoshop
Photoshop merges two very different things, editing and drawing. If you do only editing, GIMP is great. If you also do drawing/painting, GIMP is completely subpar, but Krita is fantastic.
There’s also other tools of course. But GIMP, by itself, is not close to be a remplacement for all of photoshop.





Aside from some very old models that were not that good, I don’t know of any recent LLM models that are not built on stolen properties, with complete disregard for any licensing term.
