It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

    Those aren’t tasks. those are tools.

    A task would be if to give us an example of an “end result” that you can accomplish in PS that you can’t in GIMP.

    Not what tools you use to make it. But the content that comes out the other end.

    I’m not going to argue that PS has some extra tools that make stuff easier to do. It has the resources to develop them, after all.

    But there is no drawing, animation, photo edit, composition or other end product that you can ONLY do with Photoshop. The only people who say that are people who have never used any alternative.

      So my point is still valid that GIMP is not an alternative to Photoshop. It would be like saying this screwdriver is an alternative to this toolset. People coming from Photoshop aren’t looking at the singular goal of image manipulation.
