Was using GIMP until a week ago. Torrented AI and it's really a godsend. For vector work and just general sketching, it's the best just because of the technical additions and tricks in my opinion.

started working with gimp when I was 11, switched to a (pirated) ps cs5 when I was like 14 just because I knew gimp had it's limits (which I didn't even reach at that time) and knew I had to learn adobe programms anyways If i wanted to continue doing this stuff. Ended up being a graphic designer in a small agency and yeah, if you don't know how to work with the adobe suite things can get rough if you want to work full time in this field. gimp is dope and a very nice and easy way to get into this kind of software tho

Gimp and AI are apples and oranges you fucktard.

I use Photoshop but I hope someday Krita will surpass it.

When I was a teenager I used GIMP because I couldn't into pirating photoshop

Gimp is nice if you're a hobbyist but Adobe is the only way if you're doing professional work. You might be able to bullshit getting hired or getting clients or something if you're really good at Gimp, but it's gonna get awkward if somebody asks you for a source file

I live/die by ps 7.0, any newer feels horrible to me like walking on unfamiliar ground... tried cc 2015 and would rather use mspaint over it.

If you're just messing about, by all means use Gimp, it's fine. But it is worse than photoshop in every measurable way and you won't work professionally without knowing photoshop.
