In terms of what the software has to offer, GIMP prevails in many areas against some of the competition given its plethora of features & ease of use. While there were just a few shortcomings I noticed in the software, they never hindered my overall experience when accomplishing my work.
Given my last year or so of using GIMP, this is hands down my most preferable image-editing software. For the beginner or novice user such as myself, this program covers all the essentials such as brushes & patterns, selection tools, & edit photos in various formats - free of charge. As a structural engineer, I'd often find myself refining my on-site captured photos via removing residual objects or persons & occasionally adjusting the image contrast before sending them to the client. In my line of work, GIMP is a necessary tool to have.
One of my main gripes against GIMP is that it's impossible to select multiple layers which can sometimes be cumbersome. Furthermore, I've had a few crashes on some instances when importing high-res, 5K photos.

My experience using this app is very good.
It is relatevely easy to use, although, sometimes you need some help to find some features. In general, it is a good tool if you want to draw, and, for sure, if you are trying to improve or change photos.
It, sometimes, need to be a bit more clear about how to do use some the many tools it has in it.

The main advantage of the software is that it is open-source and completely free to use. It has a wide range of features, although you need to invest some time to learning with the software.
The GIMP interface is quite complex and sometimes confusing, but I learnt to use the software on my own although I didn't have any previous experience. As an iPhone owner I see the disadvantage that GIMP doesn't support HEIC files and you need to install special plugin.

As a digital marketer, I’m using GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop to cover my daily Social Media purposes. Although it is a nice Photoshop alternative that copies almost all of its tools, it is obvious that the user interface has a way weaker design, but for an open-source free software, it offers a decent solution. GIMP is suitable for daily micro-tasks such as resizing, blurring, cropping, layers...
- Easy installation - Open-source/free software - Includes almost all the essential Photoshop tools
- Outdated UI - Some tools (shrink, selection) are way more complex and time-consuming - Sometimes the exported result is not of the requested quality(maybe that depends on the user’s skills level) - Absence of Shapes tool which is helpful in Photoshop

It was fun having a free editing software with many potentials that have save me the cost of using paid versions.
I like the fact that it's and still offers great value compared to paid photo editing software.
The color correction tool still needs to be updated.
