      I imagine Gimp users revolting if it ever improves a lot.

        Have users ever not revolted against change? :P

    I wonder if it would be feasible to create a different UI on top of the existing GIMP backend.

      Look into PhotoGIMP, afaik it precisely delivers Photoshop-like symbols, maybe even layout, and shortcuts

        I thought they had stopped development? Have t checked them in a decade.

    More than a decade on that. I would say the usability is so bad that they are not on track to catch up ever unless something changes. Every year or so I download GIMP and try to use it for something basic, and I always fail and give up.

  I assume you are right. So then I ask myself, for my own occasional use, would a standalone version of Photoshop from 2015 cover my needs?

  Yeah, I think it would!

  I was always a much heavier user of Lightroom than Photoshop anyway. I still need to choose between the FOSS options there.
