Goal of Krita
by Grósz Dániel on Thursday 22/Nov/2007, @15:21

"The Krita team is working hard to make Krita the best free pixel based image editor in the world."

I propose to change the goal to make Krita simply the best pixel based image editor in the world.

Especially since personally I think Krita 1.6 already was the best free pixel image based editor in the world.

To be sure Krita is awesome, but the gimp still has more mindshare and features. Still, knowing the impressive team behind Krita, this will not be true for long!

The GIMP team had some setbacks, especially with GEGL being dormant so long after the original developer vanished and the code cleanup that lead to 2.0 taking so long. But at least they have even gotten better at listening to their users as the reviews on gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com demonstrates.

There are still problems though and the main problems with the GIMP are:

A) That developers have come up with some use cases that don't include original art creation even though if you go to www.gimpusers.com or look at some of the feature requests you find there are a lot of current GIMP users doing exactly that.
B) The long time between releases, especially considering how little changes between releases.

Krita 2.0 has some nice features that make it interesting for art creation instead of just photo manipulation and if the GIMP wants to continue playing on that field it will have to add some extra features.
