I think it's criminal that Blender isn't even mentioned there.
i mean, i can't think of a proprietary application that does everything that blender does, so there's no need to list blender as an 'alternative' i guess.
i'm not particularly familiar with the 3d modeling space, i've only done basic stuff. feel free to correct me
@conno02 hot take: people saying GIMP is the Alternative to Photoshop without saying its UX it's the most unusable ever. Even Krita or Affinity Photo/Designer have better user interfaces than GIMP.
I find GIMP so difficult to use, but I can't justify the expense of Photoshop for hobbyist use so I'm keeping at it. I wish there was something that at least had a similar UI. So many easy tasks in PS are crazy complicated in GIMP.

Did you try Photopea yet? https://www.photopea.com/
Similar experience, but free (and online)
@stardom8048 i have tried Affinitity programs (one time fee to buy forever) and I have used them everyday.
true, but i've been stockholm syndromed into GIMP and now i cant use photoshop, it's actually hilarious
@conno02 if it works for you, go for it LOL
I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.
