As someone who uses it somewhat regularly… It’s terrible. Apparently the next update is supposed to fix some of the UX issues people have had for years. But they said that last time as well.
I just use Krita now for most stuff. The only thing GIMP does better (or did, I haven’t checked recently) is textboxes. Adding text to images on Krita was a nightmare a few years ago, but maybe they’ve fixed it.
I’ve used GIMP casually for a while for my image editing and manipulation needs. I keep hearing people say the UX is terrible over the years, but this is not something I personally experienced. I’ve always genuinely wondered, what aspects of the UX make it so terrible?
I honestly love GIMP’s UX. It’s why I’ve been using it for years. I’ve had Photoshop installed at the same time and I just never use it. GIMP is sleeker, slimmer, and a lot cleaner and easier to use.
The GUI’s stayed more or less the same the whole time I’ve been using it and it’s got plenty of capabilities to do everything I need. I’d be disappointed if they changed it in any significant way.
Might be a little overkill for what you’re after, but GIMP has always been excellent for me!
Just cannot get on with it. Have tried a few times over the years.

Just fork it and make a better UX then (and give it a better name than the current one).
Truly a relic of the 90s
If you’re interested, there’s a patch for it that makes it look and behave more like Photoshop.
GIMP does just about everything you could ever need except basic shapes.
And color management. Useless for photo editing, stuck with 8-bit sRGB.
