And no macOS native gui ;_;

It’s almost unusable in OSX because of that.

To each their own, but if GIMP got a "Logic Pro"-style rewrite then I'd probably be looking for a new raster graphics editor.

I’m not familiar with that program, what about the UI is especially bad/weird?

Everything, subjectively. Logic Pro is the epitome of Apple leaning fully into 'Form as an excuse for function' and it's one of the most hilariously useless pieces of paid software ever devised. Apple refuses to give it Pro Tools functionality because it's not a 'real DAW' and hobbles multiple features to Garageband-level functionality.

I'd prefer to keep my ugly-but-capable GIMP on every platform rather than having a single half-decent MacOS version that bends over backwards to foreign HID.
