Krita is an alternative to MS Paint in the same way that operating a railway network is an alternative to driving a bicycle: it does much more with far greater hardware, software, user effort and user experience requirements.
Additionally, the specific focus on high-end painting using a tablet means that emulating MS Paint with pixel-perfect drawing, crisp shapes and palettes has halfhearted support or needs clever workarounds.
- zeptomu 9y ago> Krita is an alternative to MS Paint in the same way that operating a railway network is an alternative to driving a bicycle I think that is too harsh. Although Krita can do more than Paint the user-experience is pretty well done and it also works for basic tasks providing useful defaults.
- HelloNurse 9y agoYes, Krita is well polished, but it deliberately offers advanced tools: some proudly beyond the competition (e.g. layers and brush engines), some quirky, some plain and dependable, some state of the art, all meant for expert users and optimized for serious work (including basic tasks), not for ease of learning.
