I really liked using Corel Photo Paint for some early projects in the late '90s. Back when it felt like a black background and 3D textured buttons was a nearly cinematic experience. (Image maps in general were so easy to work with, and I still wonder if they couldn't have been adapted to the modern web with a bit more sensitivity or nostalgia)
Ten years later I reluctantly taught my Photoshop and Illustrator students how to use the built-in web export tools and was legitimately shocked by what they created. They totally got alt text and titles and things, too.
So, lesson learned; now there are some projects for which I really lean into the $app's built-in web export tools. Usually fast, easy, and appropriate to the project, rather than whatever happens when the output is compared against the entire web...
