I've found that Krita is pretty easy to use and does most of the things I would otherwise have to use Photoshop for.

My kid uses krita with a drawing tablet, something I'm honestly not sure is even possible with gimp.

Seriously considering paying $10/mo for Photoshop just so I can replace my gimp with being encombured with bloat.
