Tried use GIMP a few times, but the standards feels way too different from Photoshop.

Like basically everything.

I'm not a designer, but I use such tools once in a while to make some images, and GIMP is nearly impossible to use for me.

Currently I'm sticking with Photopea on browser.

In my case as I have only used gimp and never photoshop, that's the only way I know how to do it. Once I've had to use Photoshop (or maybe it was illustrator) and I couldn't even understand the selection... Why does the cursor changes color? It was really confusing for me and I find Gimp much easier to use. Okay I'm not a graphic designer so maybe that's different for professional use, but mostly a software you're used to can do most of the tasks better than a software you don't know how to use... But that's just a user problem, not a software problem.
