Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don’t like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/

It does, but the ui isn’t really designed around that. I draw in krita and edit images in gimp. Doing it the other way would suck for both uses.

Why would it suck to edit images in Krita? It’s just you are not used to. There is no other reason. I go even further and say it probably suck less to edit images in Krita versus GIMP, for general purpose. That’s why I am switching to it.

Because the experience is designed around different use cases.

In Krita primary use cases are for painting and drawing so those tools and features are front and centre, easier to reach and remember.

In Gimp the focus is on editing, filtering, effects

I think you are wrong. Both tools allow for editing images in general purpose. What exactly do you even mean? The tools are there like in GIMP and as easy to reach and remember. Just because the one program has better brushes than the other does not invalidate the usage of everything else. And even if you were right, it would be helpful if someone creates tutorials like on GIMP.
