I’ve used it a lot, but unlike most of the others on this list, the commercial product (Photoshop) is so much better that I’m willing to shell out the monthly fee to use it over Gimp.
I’m not sure what field you’re in and photoshop certainly is the standard but Affinity has been great for my needs and is pay once if you’re looking to avoid SAAS
Gimp is a bit of a stretch.

Back when Photoshop was $300 (600 todays money) It was fine for non-professional work.
It could use a little UI finesse, a content aware fill without plugins, and a regular human usable macroining system.
But for 90% of non-professional work clone, dodge, smudge, burn, masking and curves are perfectly serviceable.
I’ve found a nice workflow in gimp to touch my photos. It works wonderfully

Yeah, it does all i need and uses a format that will be compatible long into the near future, very useful.
Vectorpea is available too.
