A few years ago I tried putting text on a path (think "curvy text"). First tried gimp, quit frustrated after about a hour. While at some point I "kind of" got it to work, it looked like shit. Then I opened photoshop, was done in about three minutes. Note that I never did it before in photoshop nor gimp. Luckily, nowadays I just open photopea whenever I would have used photoshop in the past. The fact that one single guy built a better photo editor than gimp should tell you everything.

It's been a long time since I last used it so I don't remember specifics, but I found really basic stuff that would take a couple of seconds to do in photoshop were a lot more difficult in gimp. Krita is better...

The UI feels quite haphazard, it doesn't follow the same approach to UI like other drawing tools and it feels like it's trying to reinvent the wheel when people are already used to certain areas on the screen being used for certain things, and personally the UI scaling looked quite rough last I looked at it. It just gave me the vibe of a programmer made tool to have something graphic to edit things rather than one a designer spent time r&d-ing from the bottom up.
