Because GIMP falls short as a Photoshop replacement, but there are plenty of people using Krita instead of Photoshop.

- StavrosK 7y agoI very much doubt that, given that Krita is an Illustrator competitor.
- jwagenet 7y agoNot really. Krita and Gimp are raster authoring tools that compete with Photoshop, though all 3 support vectors. Illustrator is a vector authoring tool that Inkscape competes with.
- StavrosK 7y agoHmm, I'm going to have to check it out again. I was under the impression that it's mostly for vector authoring, thanks.
- majewsky 7y agoKrita used to be a jack-of-all-trades painting program for the first few years of its existence. At some point, the devs figured out that they can get people to fund development more effectively when they focus on one usecase (digital painting w/ tablet) and make that really solid.
- StavrosK 7y agoAh, that's why I thought it was a competitor to Illustrator. What I use Photoshop for is photography, which sounds like it's not Krita's main use case.
- aloisdg 7y agoThe most popular Illustrator alternative is Inkscape.
