I like KRITA because it’s a free and very professional software which provides huge options to explore the field of digital painting,illustration,comics and traditional animation. I have a strong intention to become independent from Windows and get rid of it. The better I know Krita (plus a few other FOSS apps) the more I realise that I can easily avoid proprietary software. They crash about on every session at least once. I also have the Affinity Suite and these programms are very buggy. In comparison: I still have Windows OS and I also have a few proprietary non-free image editing and painting apps. I have hardly experienced any crashes on it. I don’t run into realy big issues or bugs so far. The Krita community is also great.Įdit: and because it works so well. If there was no Linux and no open source, I’d probably stop using a PC at home. The free and libre open source ideology is very important for me. I love the KDE desktop and I use it since KDE 2. I am also very glad that Krita comes from KDE. The UI is very well thought and intuitive for my taste and I think that’s great. Krita is in my opinion a fantastic application. Honestly, I use it because I think the developers and everybody involved in the project did a great job. Lastly, as a nursing case, I can’t afford to buy software today. This gets a bit personal, if you don't like such things skip it Seventh, because of my attitude to life, not to pay for anything that I can legally have for free. I am not in a position to donate to Krita, but maybe I can help others here.
Sixth, because I can have contact with developers as with other users, and because I can participate in a support forum at Krita, as I once did at eMule. However, I have not worked with any comparable software as intensively as Krita.įifth, because of my digital background, my socialization, in the late seventies early eighties we gave away or traded our software in the schoolyard, we showed everyone everything and supported each other, although it was always a competition to be the better coder, but whoever asked for money was considered an asshole!
Third, because I can use Krita on all the operating systems I use.įourth, because it can do things that other software I use can’t do, or can’t do as well as Krita can. Second, because I like and respect the ideals behind FLOSS. First, because I try all software that seems interesting to me, as long as it is free, and that’s how I discovered Krita for myself.
