I still use VirtualBox with Windows 10 to launch all the Affinity products because GIMP is so bad. And for browser fingerprint protection, e.g. chrome (ungoogled) on windows, because no browser fakes it. Not mullvad, Tor or Brave.
I think GIMP is great. It does everything most people need it to do. You just have to take time to learn how to use it, just like with everything else.

You might like winapps for your usecase. It makes things feel more fluid if you have a PC capable of running a Windows VM at the same time.
