Gimp is heavy in my opinion, no matter the desktop I opened it on It always takes a while to fully open. If I want to make a quick change to an image, crop, draw or write on I don’t want to sit for 5 minutes for the editor to open.
iirc gimp tools weren’t all that beginner friendly either.
it is indeed pretty slow to start, but after that it’s pretty fast and doesn’t use much memory. I’ve used it heavily on my core2duo macbook (cpu capped to 800mhz due to no battery) until a few years ago.
