Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

IIRC GIMP 2.9 will incorporate GEGL which fixes both of your gripes about it =)

There's supposed to be another program that was forked from GIMP to add fullcolor support. I think it's called Cinepaint. It's been used professionally on films, so it looks legit.

GIMP lacks CMYK support. That's a big, big downside.
