Private equity owed proprietary Mac and Windows exclusive. No thanks.
Want the best software for editing photos? No thanks, I'd rather use inferior open source solutions. Go Gimp
Yeah who needs the best software for hobbyist editing? $20/mo to Adobe forever until they jack it up even more, no thanks.
Upvoting you, because I actually use Gimp. While it has its headaches, for photo editing it's still the best after Photoshop.
(Yes, still better than Krita).
But this is all a digression, as Lightroom/Darktable are not Photoshop/Gimp replacements. Not even the same category.
> still better than Krita
??? Krita is painting/raster image creation software, why would you use it for photo editing?
You shouldn't. But I point it out because people keep posting "Ditch Gimp. Use Krita instead."
Krita's better for painting. Gimp's better for photo editing.
Darktable is top class.
