I find that Adobe is really pulling away from open source software with all this AI stuff. A few years ago it could be argued that GIMP, Inkscape, and Darktable could do almost everything that Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom could, albeit with a jankier user interface.

But now none of the open source software can compete with AI generative fill, AI denoising, and now AI rotation.

To a Linux user, yes. To a professional, it was always a cruel joke, it was never close, even a few years ago. It's like saying Notepad++ is a functional IDE, or Kdenlive is a functional replacement for DaVinci Resolve.

I cannot stress this enough: Actual professionals do not think GIMP is a viable replacement, in any way, and never have.

Krita destroyed Gimp years ago. This debate is always by people who obviously don't even use these tools.

No one would compare GIMP to Photoshop in 2024 that has any idea what they are talking about.
