Intersting take - I gather your not familiar with the history of PSP.

It was the original digital photo manipulation software. In fact,
many of the features of what eventually became Adobe Photoshop were
lifted almost directly from PSP. It's been around since 1992 and is
cross platform for Mac and Windows.

And it's still the only software available under $100 that handles
both vector and raster manipulation.

It's every bit as capable as Adobe and in some ways, better.
