I tried the “good UX” one back then when people hype around the update, and it still really hard to learn if you used to photoshop layout. These day, Krita is better i think, and Inkscape for the Illustrator alternative.
It was bad when Gimp had floating windows. That was changed long ago. Since then, the layout is basically the same as in PS: tools on the left, layers on the right, the image in the middle. The biggest difference is probably that the tools panel isn’t in one column by default and takes some screen space — but it can be resized, though idk about the minimum width.

Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅
Krita’s brush engine is also stellar. Easily up there among the best of them.
Inkscape’s UI is very unintuitive to me, as someone used to Illustrator. The necessary tools mostly exist, but not where I would look for them.
> “if you used to photoshop layout”
> look inside
> same layout as in Photoshop, and the panels are movable
By now I’m convinced Photoshop users lack pattern recognition.
Is it? Idk, it’s been ages i used it and i never went back since even though every time i need it and people always recommended me it.
