This is not meant to be mean. I really want to know. Gimp is honestly great. Coming from Photoshop the UI is a bit confusing at times, but once you figure it out it's a great piece of software.
To me, Seashore (I haven't downloaded it... just looked at docs) is just Gimp with less features. Am I missing something?
GTK apps feel pretty clunky under macOS, with GIMP feeling moreso than other GTK apps with its various oddball UI patterns that don't even fit in with a GTK Linux desktop (like its layer palette with what looks like a standard list view but behaves nothing like a standard list view). It also doesn't handle multiple monitors well (alerts popping up on a different screen than the document window is on). In summary, it's pretty unpolished option among image editors that run on macOS.
Also, GIMP isn't the most lightweight of software out there… it can be overkill depending on needs.
