#2I am glad someone is putting in this effort. Many years ago, there was another project called GIMPshop to make GIMP's interface more accessible to Photoshop users.

They taught Photoshop at school, so I found it easier to use GIMPshop than regular GIMP.

#3People use Photoshop for sheer capability, not for the layout, naming conventions and shortcuts.

Although that is true, moving to a different application with different layout, naming conventions, and shortcuts is difficult. That is the use case this project addresses.

Some people do. I know my way around Photoshop very well, but do not use any advanced features. I tried using GIMP once and bounced off immediately, trying to do what I knew how to do in Photoshop was very hard, the learning curve felt very steep.
These days I use Photopea which meets my needs perfectly (but is not free software).

I'm pretty sure 95% of photoshop users only use a feature subset thats also available in GIMP (except for maybe the latest generative infill)

The disadvantage is that then you never learn how GIMP works and will forever frustrated it's not Photoshop. Sometimes it's better to take the hard way.

But if you don't have the money for a photoshop license, learned photoshop, and don't want to pirate, this is a good middle ground.
Photopea is also a good solution

I don't want to learn how GIMP works. I want to edit photos.
