No idea what you're on about. GIMP works fine, it's just not a drop-in replacement for Photoshop. People need to use layers more.
Gimp works fine.. but it's not intuitive and the UI/UX is horrible.
Sometimes "intuitive UI/UX" leads to long "where is the fucking menu" confusion. Shitvendor of my phone shipped it with some garbage crApple-like launcher, where I couldn't remove app from home screen without removing entire app. This lasted untill I installed Trebuchet.
While I understand your frustration, intuitive UI/UX is 'real' and not just a marketing gag. But you have to invest the money and the time to do proper user research.
And it is intentionally horrible. It is how the developers want it.
Lack of a user friendly art suite is a major barrier to Linux adoption.
Change it, make it better. Market your version.
Or join conversations with developers so that it becomes better.
You are the development team as much as you want to be. It's not Adobe.
