You can hit the backslash key and type what you're looking for and gimp will search all the menus and options. No need for that sad face anymore, all ux/ui issues are solved! Oh and there are adjustment layers too.

Definitely looks like it was made in Gimp.

Real wannabe artists do, and they suffer while doing it.

I fucking miss having Photoshop, man. Can't justify the stupid high cost and don't know how to get a pirated version anymore.

I can't name it all, but it felt significantly smoother with my Intuous tablet, and the zoom function was nice and useable, unlike Krita's.

I had a cracked CC 2015 or something for a while, failed to back it up before I formatted my PC, didn't find another. Settled for CS5 for a while and it was a marked downgrade, felt significantly worse to paint in.

Eventually my harddrive crashed and I lost that one too, but I didn't really care as I mostly gave up drawing after losing the CC one. I've tried Krita enough over the last few years to know I'll never enjoy digital art again unless I fork out for Adobe, who demand a steep subscription service, rights to everything you make, and if you buy a lifetime license I've seen multiple reposts that they have proven they won't honor it. Frankly, I do not enjoy the 2020s at all. In general I feel like it would be completely fine if we managed to just wipe ourselves out sometime soon.
