I love Inkscape. Taught my self how to use this 15+ years ago. Use it 2-10x per year since. It's always there. It does not change UI much between releases. I dont have to download a cracked version of some commercial tool because I'm to stingy to buy expensive software for a simple task at hand. Inkscape (and Gimp) have helped me a lot in this regard.
Only thing I find annoying in Inkscape is doing simple crops of images

Inkscape is garbage. I downloaded SVG map of the world from Wikipedia. Used bucket fill to change color of one country, it failed (it created new shape that barely resembled country but was inaccurate, as if someone traced it by hand). I mean what's the point of vector graphic app of it cannot do basic operation after two decades of development. It's not like I wanted to do something obscure.

Gimp is underrated in my opinion. Most of the complaints I've seen about it boil down to it not being a 1:1 clone of Photoshop
Gimp is much better than PS for my use case. And not having to pay some sick subscription is a big reason to stay away from them.

It doesn't need the same workflows as Photoshop, but it definitely needs to improve them
I will add that copying Photoshop would be an easy all-around win because Photoshop has engineered their UX. I'd say it would be pretty hard to come up with better alternates than what Photoshop has probably.
There are cheaper alternatives to Photoshop that get their UX much better than Gimp. To name two: Gravit (£3/m) or Krita (FOSS), but they're not exactly photo manipulation, though.
I installed Inkscape the other day to try to rescale and save an simple SVG for the web. When I took a look at the text saved in the file, I was pretty shocked to discover it saved the entire path of the file in the file . In other words, it saves a directory structure that could contain your username, the name of the project you're working on, what company you're working for, etc. Felt like a pretty shocking invasio…
