Eh, really depends on the use case. For example if you want to edit something distributed in a psd format gimp won’t even tell you something got imported wrong. So the file will import but will look wrong.

And then there’s the UI. It just refuses to follow any current standards. Whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on the user.

Personally I use affinity photo. Works for my use case and is a one time purchase product, which for me is ok.

I moved from Galaxy S10 to Xperia 1 V precisely because none of the phones in the Galaxy line support aptx.

Also, there’s aptx, aptx-hd, aptx-LL (low latency), and aptx-adaptive. My headphones support only aptx and aptx-adaptive and I really wanted support for the latter. There’s licensing involved so not all devices support the whole range of aptx standards.

Not only does the Xperia have a headphone jack, it supports aptx for Bluetooth headphones! No matter if you prefer wired or wireless, it’s not skimping on either.

A lot of it is single time purchases, therapy is a subscription service.
