Ah. I see this bring brought on my timeline. I might as well bring my 2 cents in since I remember using GIMP in 2009(?)-2012 a couple of points.
GIMP is not exactly the most well optimized software. ^^; And there are some key moments I wanna bring up of why it's not good for artists specifically.
GIMP is objectively unintuitive and also can’t parse text layers of PSDs properly, it’s designed by FOSS people that have never created tools for professionals. Telling someone to use it for their job is like saying you can make a feature on iMovie. Technically true but not serious.

if you find GIMP hard to use you probably shouldn't be allowed to drive a car or shop at a grocery store. it's literally just buttons with pictures on them that do the things the pictures represent. you don't even need to be able to read.
Checked Wikipedia for the program GIMP. Feel like you don’t want this in your Wikipedia article.
