I use Krita and I absolutely love it! As I always did, it was the first program that I ever used to draw and I found it so nice that I never bothered to search for other editors. (Of course I used GIMP and Inkscape, but not for drawing.)
Tried GIMP, it's functional but a bit hard if you're not used to it. Krita is great, feels like modern design software. I want to say something nice about Inkscape. Full stop.
@nixCraft 🐧 auf Photoshop kann ich schon noch verzichten. Meine Kernarbeit mache ich aber mit Indesign. Da ist leider #Scribus keine adequate Alternative für was ich so nutze und im professionellen Kontext auch brauche.
I have been using GIMP for over 15 years now since I switched away from Paint.NET. (I never used Photoshop) Also use Inkscape sometimes but I rarily touch SVGs.
Gimp for photo or picture/scan editing, cropping, resizing, color adjusting, etc. (or a command-line tool for simple things on a batch of images), Inkscape often when I start from scratch or to make a "cleaner" version of a drawing, for things to print (tried Scribus but got tired of working around bugs). I only recently installed Krita so I haven't used it a lot yet but it seems fine. I've also occasionally used LibreOffice Draw, for example to remove half-page full-color ads from a train/event ticket pdf before printing it.
@GIMP for image editing, mostly simple tasks. @inkscape for logo design. In seldom cases #scribus to layout flyers, or magazines. All of them are great tools, I love them!
I've been a heavy user of The Gimp a bit before the release 2.0. Really nice tool, always did what I needed 😊 Tried inkscape, but never went too far with it
I used to use Inkscape for layout purposes, but I recently (accidentally) discovered that LibreOffice Draw is a better vector based page layout app than Inkscape, especially for printing or PDF purposes.
I've been using gimp, but mostly Inkscape for more than 15 years for all kinds of projects like cards, editing svg and all kinds of home graphical work.
Inkscape-User but still in learning phase after moving away from windows and affinity two years ago. Don't do much with photos and mainly use Xnview to resize images.
I've used GIMP ever since it became available. Even made a small movie in gif format with it, way back when. I probably gained 40 lbs from the savings on Photoshop (which tried but hated the UI of). Inkscape has also been in my toolbox forever. Never had a need for Krita.
Used both together with OpenOffice (and later LibreOffice) to great effect.
I've used GIMP quite a bit, mainly back when I was a broke teenager in high school who couldn't afford anything else. I eventually went on to use Pixelmator, actual Photoshop, then Affinity Photo. However, started using GIMP again in the past year with my adventures in OpenIndiana/UNIX. Have also played with Inkscape a couple times but don't care for it that much.
I tried Darktable for a period but returned to my Adobe Lightroom subscription. Regrettably, Lightroom (web) is the only viable option for me as a Linux user. I don't use any advanced AI functions; I only require the core functionality, but for me, there is simply no serious alternative.
When I have to edit bitmap images, I always use GIMP. I don't do a lot of vector editing, although I made both my children's baby announcement cards in Inkscape.

Be it feedback, ideas, full UIX concepts, code, money, ... you name it.
The GIMP, like many other important FOSS projects is greatly understaffed and underfunded.

Some SVG editing is also performed in a text editor, most often Geany.

Is there a real alternative 🤪
As a simple user, I dont' want to try an other thing that is not open source AND gnu friendly...
Gnu linux forever and everyone ...

in reply to nixCraft 🐧 • • •Krita nearly every day but against its nature since I mostly use it for basic photo editing and not drawing. I prefer its UI.
I also use digiKam sometimes but it can be slow and awkward.
Inkscape when I'm cutting vinyl.
I can't stand the UI for GIMP, and the name doesn't help, so I only open it if I have no other choice.
