I am that kind of decades-long hosted-linux-from-a-Mac-desktop user who checks out desktop linux every six months or so to see if the daily driver situation is ready.
I edit quite a lot of photos and even though Darktable is a mess, I could use it and it's not the only option. I edit vector graphics and I think Inkscape is fine. I like FreeCAD. All of my coding tools appear to run in Electron, etc. etc.
But GIMP isn't an option. It's not even close to being what basic quick correct photo editing needs in terms of a workflow. And I'm simply never going to change what is not really a particularly deep or exotic workflow to fit it.
Krita is _sooooo_ close, and it's not even trying to be a photo editor first and foremost.
