Agreed. Notably, Bluesky doesn’t require an account to read posts.

Really wish Phoronix would stop using AI slop for their articles.

OK. They aren’t products. Not really sure why you feel the need to announce this.

GIMP and Krita are much more versatile than folks give them credit for. And of course there’s Inkscape for vector. I would suggest learning on these tools and if you find yourself limited then you can start considering other options.
