I really wanted to love gimp but I found the UI hard to navigate. I felt like I was missing panes and sure enough after 45 minutes of searching indecipherable icons I’d randomly discover a gimp pane tucked behind a completely different macOS app. It was like a magic trick designed to infuriate.
I switched to figma and it’s not perfect but a huge breath of fresh air. The infinitely sized canvas is so damn sensible, why haven’t graphics programs always done that!? And the url figma.new is so convenient. I also use Canva a bit for effects. All free versions. I also heard photopea is good.

I might try gimp 3 again.
Hidden secrets lie in Windows-->Dockable Dialogs.
Also "Recently Closed Docks" is useful, because one often closes them by mishap.
Memory constraints at first. Then inertia.
