how it is compaired to Photoshop

I want to stop using photoshot and only use gimp, exclusivly.

i have a few questions in general

im still figuring out gimp and how to use it like photoshop. so i can get back
to doing what i normally want to do, that i was doing with photoshop

#1: in over all view how does gimp stack up to Photoshop and all of its
features, are they compairable? to each other.

#2: are gimp's tool's brushes filters and ect.. are they as good as photoshop.
do they give the same quality output that PS does?

#3: is there anyway to install all of the availbe plugs for gimp, in a easy,
effenct method/,manner, or do i have to download them all and do it that way?

#4: is their gpu support like photoshop to speed up rendering?

#5: how fast is gimp compaired to PS when rendering not just 3d also 2D
paintings such as the ones seen on deviantart, thats what i do most of the time.
