it's really great if you just want to quickly adjust an image. It loads really quickly and is very intuitive.

Pixelitor is powerful with a well designed UI and a surprising amount of practical features, some of which requires a bit of looking around. Especially it has some great and unique functions for texture generation.

Pixelitor 4.30 with its hundreds of filters has experimental features which include smart objects (non-destructive filters) shared layers with external apps, as well as vector layers and gradient fill layers. This software rocks!
