There's no reason to use GIMP when a closed-source ad ridden web app with premium AI features exists?
Open-source is not a selling point and I'm amazed that some people still consider it as such in 2026.
I have absolutely no ads on Photopea.
Gimp doesn't have any AI feature, and you're free to not use any of the Photopea AI features, so not sure why it's relevant?
Yes, we indeed don't need Gimp when we have a free Photoshop equivalent.
