Super.

All are great. Except : Inkscape is decent, except that it's nowhere near illustrator. It's got issues. Issues that maybe casual users can tolerate. A more demanding user won't.

Gimp really isnt a substitute for photoshop. It's slow, unstable and ux is dogshit. Too bad.

There are people saying Inkscape is better. I personally find it completely hard and unintuitive, just like GIMP. But I use both

Gimp is all I know, I can’t compare to Photoshop, and I love it! ❤️
