Gimp is great, I use it.
It is about as good now as Photoshop was in the late nineties and has about the same features as Photoshop 5.0 had.
The Adobe suits are totally fantastic, I’ve used many thousands of bucks worth of their pirated softwares before they were moved to the clownds because there is nothing else out there even remotely comparable.
Gimp is second best but not in the same league, we’re stuck in the last millennium.
It makes me sad and angry that the Adobe rents are too high. Wonderful things I could make, won’t be made. If I could pirate their services I would just have to.
It is wrong to keep tools from talent. They use the 
cloud 
to do it.
That said, I think Adobe probably doesn’t have any options in its dealings with Venezuela but to do as the government demands and to terminate the rentals of their software running on their servers.
They are not the bad guys here.
