Haiku has pretty good native audio, video and image editors.

I wish they'd rather port Inkscape.
I'd check for native software first instead of Gimp, as Haiku had a lot of background on media production. My 2 cent tip.
Haiku's icons are vector based right? Is there a native Haiku vector art software?
There's a native icon editor.

Sounds like a win/win to me!
It has the second, and third (Python 3 is ported). It's POSIX-compliant, so there's tons of Linux/Unix CLI stuff available.
There is a package manager with a lot of software, both native and ported. Many of the staples are available (LibreOffice, VLC, etc.), but there's also a lot missing, some with alternatives (there's no GIMP, but there is Krita, for example).
Overall, I think it's usable as a basic system, but you could definitely run into some issues with software availability and web browsing if you want to do more powerful stuff.
