my dude, i haven’t booted into windows in ages. but that proves my exact point: it might save one time if ones workflow involves a lot of tasks that can be scripted. if ones workflow is “launch photoshop; browse the web for inspiration; draw for a bit; close photoshop.”, it won’t save any time. especially due to the hassle of getting photoshop working, or learning a new app like gimp or krita.
Oh man, that reminds me of the one time I promised a friend to make a poster for an event and my windows lappy died the next day. I had to shoehorn the project into gimp on my tiny netbook.
It was painful. I’m glad for knowing how to use gimp in a pinch, and it is quite powerful software, but it felt like every tool and setting was in the wrong place after working with PS for so long.
Also, it goes without saying that designing a full sized poster on a 10" screen is a fools errand.
to be fair, i actually prefer gimp. but i recognise that different things work for different people, and often it’s not worth learning new software unless it brings significant advantages

“I prefer xxx” won’t work in corporate environments though, that’s the problem.
You are stuck on a very specific minor use case.
I also love that humans are born with Photoshop knowledge but they have to learn Krita. xD
