Hard to compare.

The two apps just have a different workflow..

Well yeah I was answering for me though, not the whole internet.

Gimp has a work flow that I can’t get into, photoshop clicks better. For you, it could be the opposite and that’s great.

I’m not selling photoshop, I don’t even use either anymore. It would be stupid not to try to make gimp work for you first.

Depends if you learn gimp or PS first.

Like if you start life with Linux, windows seems weird

Idk, I learned GIMP first for years, and kept being annoying how unintuitive it was.

Then I tried Photoshop on a friend's computer for a week, and found how much easier it was to use.

I don't use Photoshop though since I use Linux

Well yeah, that’s the whole point. It’s harder to learn another workflow when you’re already in the mindset of the other.
