GIMP is in no way at least as good as commercial products. A major feature that is missing for example is non-destructive editing. LibreOffice is an acceptable alternative for many users but still not as good. Blender on the other hand can be considered professional-grade.

GIMP also feels like it's made by 200 different people.

Right clicking with different tools gives completely different outcomes. It's very difficult to use.

I used Gimp for about 10 years and it never felt natural. I figured out Photoshop in less than a half hour.

Gimp was made by 713 people. Krita (the project I maintain) by 574 people. But Gimp's count includes translators, Krita's doesn't. Source: https://www.openhub.net/p/_compare?project_0=Krita&project_1...
