I've used all kinds of software like these other than Photoshop.
They usually become unsupported after a few years after they go out of
business.
The salient points are absorbed by Photoshop if they are worth it. Adobe
buys them out.
There's something which is not trendy but a given and that's Photoshop.
Its been responsible for the bulk of digital image making for decades. And
it just keeps getting better.
