For people who actually use them, are current open alternatives that bad in comparison?

i use photoshop and have had a bad time trying to start using clip studio/gimp/etc, but tbh i'm pretty sure that's because i've been using PS forever and there's tutorials for everything. and its always cracked!
I'm still salty Clip Studio moved to a paid updates after promising to be a one-time purchase software. I understand why they did the change and some of those new features are fantastic, but I haven't upgraded out of spite.
That being said, it's pretty good, especially if you're buying 3.0 right from the get-go. Photoshop does have better filters, but Clip Studio's free community content more than makes up for it. Being able to make your own brushes or download other people's favorites has been a godsend.
