No. If a tool is too complicated or cumbersome to use then people will look for another one that’s better. Not everyone is an enthusiast that is willing to invest hours or weeks learning all the intricacies of an app if all I want to do is some light editing of a photo or very simple illustration drawing. I will choose a tool with better UX and easier workflow 100% of the time, and most people are like this.
So maybe the target audience isn't most people? I get that people like things to be simple, but some people love the depth of GiMP is a feature, not a bug.
