Idk, I guess it is personal taste but I like GIMP substantially better. The whole “separate windows is the default” thing is a baffling and wrong decision, but once you get over that small hurdle, it just seems like everything is more straightforward. Every time I have to rotate an image or something in Photoshop it’s just weird and off putting.

Maybe it’s just what I’m used to. And, some fancy things like layer effects or AI image stuff are straightforward in Photoshop whereas in GIMP you have to go into the awful scripting if you can do it at all. But to me for most things GIMP is easier and better.
