Yeah. Photoshop and Gimp are the same except that Photoshop has
content aware fill.

and a zillion more features.

How long does it take for you to learn a zillion more features?

you don't have to learn every single one of them, but they're there if
you need or want any of them, something a gimp user will not have.

Agreed, but there is a learning time.

it's not as long as you might think.
