I second this: Pixelmator is great. But most heavy Photoshop users won't leave Photoshop unless dragged away. It's all they know. Sure they'll kick, scream, bitch. But suggest something like Pixelmator you get excuses like "But Pixelmator doesn't have [insert obscure filter that they've only used once in their life]".

In the end, they'll still stay on Adobe's CC.

Actually Pixelmater doesn't have tons of NON obscure features, professionals (and image editing enthusiasts) use day in, day out.

We don't just crop, resize and apply some blur.

You could not be more wrong with your assesment why Photoshop users stay with Photoshop. I bought Pixelmator, and I also got CC licencse. I don't even remember when was the last time I had Pixelmator open. Pixelmator is a great and cheap alternative if you indeed only need pretty basic things, but many need a lot more. And if you are in print business there is no discussion at all.
