@MyNameIsIgglePiggle@yaniv, Gimp isn't so bad, Krita is greatbut mostly dedicated for paintings, not so for photos. Yes Inkskape is a sluggish headache, for vector graphics you can try Libre Office Draw, OpenToonz or Graphite (online), al also OpenSource.
Blender is for 3D modelling and animation, maybe better the improved version (compatible with Blender formats and plugins) Bforartists
