Neither of which I would use for palette based pixel pushing. For that I use something like Promotion or Aseprite. I tried to pixel with Gimp and found it frustrating. I use Krita for painting and sketch work (animation now) with my Wacom or Surface Pro, I use Gimp or FireAlpaca (new on the scene) for manipulation and finally Promotion or Aseprite for pixel work. There is really no killer drawing application that does it all. Which is probably a good thing.
