I didn't recommend it, I offered three options (one specifically created to fix the exact issue you're probably complaining about - GIMP's horrendous UI)

The problem is, you imply the alternative solutions are somehow just a stand-in replacement, which is not true, and not just with Gimp in the programs you listed. Software matters, and when software you need is not available, it is a significant compromise.

Up until the last paragraph, where he freely admits all the options are basically shit in comparison.

The idea that having to relearn all software and deal with idiosyncrasies for a professional is laughable.
