It also has, even with its quirks, features no other program has. From some
older posts of mine:

From a recent posts of mine:
    -----
    Same is true of Photoshop. GIMP is just far, far behind. Does not
    mean, though, that it is not powerful and might not work for you. It
    might. But for me there are just too many things which GIMP is
    missing. Multiple levels of layer sets, multiple types of masks and
    the ability to add multiple masks to any given part of the image.
    Add to that Smart Layers / Objects... adjustment layers... just all
    sorts of things which offer amazing capabilities. It also has a much
    better sharpen tool, 3D tools, ability to copy CSS styling
    information you have set in it (and other tools to allow it to work
    with Dreamweaver and other web development tools), vector layer
    features, and on and on and on.

    It really is a powerhouse image editing program - there is nothing
    else like it.
    -----
    I really have a lot more... for example, when using it on OS X why
    does it not let me use the OS X color picker? For that matter, why
    does it not even use the OS X save and open dialogs and printing is
    even worse: when I click to print it opens a separate program in the
    background which I have to click on (and, of course, it looks
    nothing like the standard OS X print dialog).

    This means when I open and save documents I do not have access to
    the items have placed on my sidebar. This means with color I do not
    have access to my swatches from other programs nor to any of the
    default color selection options I have in almost every other program
    not any of the add-ons I have added to the color selector. This
    means I do not have access to my printer defaults. Heck, for most of
    the hotkeys it uses the OS X standard of Command+whatever but for
    printing it uses Control+P. When I select to "Hide" it (which shows
    the correct hot key but it does not work), it often hides and then
    pops back into view, though behind other programs (this is just
    *wrong* and absurd... I have never seen any other program act so
    oddly on OS X). I can go on and on - no system services... no access
    to the Media Browser... on and on.

    It really is quite a mess. Photoshop is not perfect - though Adobe
    has worked hard over the last few versions to improve it. For
    example, some of its traditional hot keys are the same as ones Apple
    uses (such as Command+H to hide the program... also used for years
    by Photoshop to hide grids and slices and the like). Well, people
    have been using it for years... what do you do? The first time you
    hit Command+H the program asks which you want it to do... and you
    can change it any time you want. Similarly, you can use the Adobe
    color selectors *or* the Apple one... or the Adobe file selectors
    *or* the Apple ones. Same idea on Windows. Neither Photoshop nor
    GIMP uses the newish forms of file revisions that OS X added a few
    years ago - though rumor has it they are working on it for the
    Creative Cloud suite. They have added built in Spotlight features
    into the Mac version.
    -----

Since then GIMP has added multiple levels of layer sets, but I do not think
it has fixed the other issues.
