No one is running gimp on their phone, besides for laughs. There are a number mobile-centric apps in the repos, stick to them and you'll be fine.

The issue is that the mobile-centric apps are few and far fetween, and not nearly as polished as the Android ecosystem.
I maintain a project [1] that tries to collect and track them all, and ... at least for keeping track of how they all develop, there's not a few apps. ;-)

You currently list 720 apps, Google Play Store has 3.3 million.
Even if we assume that a good chunk of that may be "duplicate" in terms of functionality (e.g. todo apps), that is still just a completely different dimension of apps and use cases covered by android natively.
