Yes, GIMP's UI is pretty awkward. No disagreement here.
Still, for a lot of people, GIMP is a very valuable open source alternative to Photoshop; not as full-featured, of course, but then again, nothing is. There are lots of tutorials for achieving interesting effects using GIMP. I've never heard it described as something people learn to pad their resumes.
Krita is pretty cool, too. If I'm not mistaken, it's not a full-featured Photoshop replacement either.
