Exactly. My needs are great now but will be comparatively small 10 years from now. So GIMP has that long to improve.

I don't see any reply from @Neil Grant since his opening post last August, so we don't know if he is still interested, but for anyone who wants

then the first thing to try is Apple's "Photos" app that came installed free on your Mac. It is very capable for most normal image editing.
