It's probably personal opinion. I'm not a photo editor, I have never used Photoshop so that has not introduced bias.

But I have found Gimp to be wildly inconsistent in the UI. I never remember how to draw a circle, for example, when I just want to add something to a screenshot because you have to use the circle cut tool and then choose a different option which I never remember because it is unintuitive. Yet its easy to have a paintbrush that draws one of those texture patterns that I can't imagine anyone ever using.

As such I then don't use it.

For drawing shapes I tend to just use Inkscape.

Yes, either Inkscape or Krita depending on the task.

There just isn't a task that Gimp fits.
