Is this a good Photoshop alternative?
Gimp for a full image manipulation suit.
Krita for digital painting/art and a decent gui, still better for light image edits then paint.
Between those two photoshop is essentially overpriced hypeware. Its convenient to have both foss apps packed under a single well designed interface but no where worth what they demand. After adobe leaked the details from my student account back in 2013 they have continuously caused me so much damage they should be paying me.
It's good if you can get past it's unintuitive UI.
Pasta might be an improvement over its current UI.
That's just because of all its spaghetti code.
Plugins can also help with that
What are some good gimp plugins that improve the ui?

I don't remember the names of the ones I used, but there are a ton of tutorials and videos on how to set it up to look like Photoshop, or in my case Fractal Design Painter
PhotoGIMP should work if you want a more Photoshop-y feel, though it's not a plugin, it's config file changes

Damn you. Now I gotta check that out. I dropped gimp permanently once I tried Krita.

Depends on what you want to use it for, but yes it is. Especially since it's way cheaper.

For Windows and Mac, yes. V1 was very polished when I used it back in the day, I assume V2 is the same. For Linux, fuck no. They don't care one bit about that OS.
