AND it's Photoshop compatible so you can still open all your old psd files and work in them.
If we're all looking for Adobe alternatives again, I've been using Krita ever since I lost my ancient version of Photoshop. Krita is free, opensource art software for Windows + Mac with no AI features (unless you add them yourself). I drew all my book covers with it last year! krita.org/en/

The text is extremely frustrating, but I can get basic lettering to look passable, at least. I wouldn't try to do any fancy typography with it, for sure.
