I only discovered Krita recently, but holy shit does it fill the Photoshop void very well. The UI isn't the same as PS, obviously. But I find it much easier to navigate than Gimp's UI. And Krita is surprisingly feature-rich.

If you don't mind paid, Affinity is pretty nice too.

Desperately needs Linux support though.
