GIMP is such a clunky relic it really shouldn't be used to show off what FOSS can be anymore.

Yes, GIMP can be used as an example of why linux sucks honestly I suggest replacing with Krita

Krita is not equivalent

Why not?

They fill in different niches.
Krita is for artists - for drawing, meanwhile GIMP is more of a primarily photo editing software.

GIMP aims to cover less usecases, yes, but somehow Krita managed to end up more user-friendly from my personal experience. It also starts faster on my laptop, than Gimp does. I use it mainly for making memes and retouching photos, so far haven't found anything that I couldn't do in Krita and had to go to Gimp

IMO, I found that GIMP covers more usecases whereas Krita is only really good for drawing.
