Isn't Krita quite different from GIMP? I haven't used Krita but I've watched some videos about it previously and my impression has been that Krita is more like Corel Painter whereas GIMP is like Photoshop. IOW, whether Krita is "better" than GIMP might depend heavily on what you are looking to do. If Krita is like I think it is then it would be a much better application for digital painting than what GIMP is, while for photo manipulation GIMP would be much better.
