Except it really isn't, unfortunately. As someone who fucking hates adobe and Photoshop, GIMP falls far short. Photoshop is made to work as part of a toolkit, and GIMP isn't interested in any form of compatibility. Take, for example, an issue that's been around (and in the bug tracker) since the release of 2.10. Something about the way GIMP handles colors means that most programs can't use alpha channels output by GIMP correctly, and see it as having much higher contrast than it's meant to. The stance seems to be that this is intended behavior. However, this is clearly not the case, as even when only using GIMP, re-importing the image shows that, even though the contrast is correct, data was still lost.
