GIMP's UI and UX are just terrible. I forced myself to use it for months but it never felt like anything ever got easier to do, it's just so unintuitive. Nevertheless, I thank the devs for all their work, it's great great tool
I used PS from v3 (I think?) to CS2 (ish?) before switching to GIMP. I thought the interface was weird until a designer at my job showed me where I was getting confused. So I've been a semi-regular G user for the last million years and every once in a while I offer to help my partner with something in PS and honestly I take so long to get anything done because I can't find it in the PS UI.
Have you tried PhotoGIMP?
Did you reconfigure it much?
There are preconfiguration packs that make it more like photoshop if you want. Gimpshop I think one is called.
I didn't, I will check it out but that is still terrible UX if you need to mod the program to make It intuitive
