Krita is closer to Photoshop than Gimp, although still not up to it. Just in case you ever need PS, try krita first.

Photopea is good for most tasks

Krita is excellent for painting, not very good for image editing though.

Hard disagree. I use it all the time for photo editing.

Well, there's better tools out there

Again, just my opinion, but I prefer Krita to any FLOSS alternative. I've been designing professionally for over a decade, using Adobe for most of it; Krita is my preferred FLOSS tool for photo editing, and I've tried them all.

Krita has g'mic and it's open source. It's photoshop that is still not up to there

Krita is a drawing program not really a photo editor like PS/Gimp. Paint.net was a pretty good PSlite last time I tried it
