Want the best software for editing photos? No thanks, I'd rather use inferior open source solutions. Go Gimp

Upvoting you, because I actually use Gimp. While it has its headaches, for photo editing it's still the best after Photoshop.

(Yes, still better than Krita).

But this is all a digression, as Lightroom/Darktable are not Photoshop/Gimp replacements. Not even the same category.

  • > still better than Krita

    ??? Krita is painting/raster image creation software, why would you use it for photo editing?

    • You shouldn't. But I point it out because people keep posting "Ditch Gimp. Use Krita instead."

      Krita's better for painting. Gimp's better for photo editing.

Yeah who needs the best software for hobbyist editing? $20/mo to Adobe forever until they jack it up even more, no thanks.
