I like using GIMP for quick design tasks because it's open-source software. It offers the same standard of editing fidelity as its competitors, which is really valuable. The UI is familiar enough to be intuitive for most users, making it easy to transition to GIMP as an alternative to major platforms like Adobe. It's well-maintained and rarely has issues with bugs. Plus, the initial setup was very easy.

It’s free and open source, which is the biggest draw!

I like that GIMP is free, flexible, and still offers powerful editing tools like layers, selections, and export options that make everyday tasks quick and easy. Layers make it easy to edit without damaging the original image, selection tools help me quickly target specific areas, and export options make it fast to save assets in the right format for different sizes and channels. It's very easy and quick to set up, and although it took a little time to get used to the interface and customize it for my workflow, it was nothing more than any other software.
