LOL

if Gimp breaks, you have to rely on a world-wide 24-7 user groups to help you fix it within a few hours.

If you buy Photoshop and it breaks, you can call someone in India and they will not be able to reproduce your problem. You then spend hours googling for help and find it in the world-wide 24-7 Photoshop user groups.

That support is part of what you are wasting your money on. Don't forget the fix you need is always in the next upgrade that you have to buy.

Everyone knows the unhelpfuldesk is the last resort of the desperate.
