Krita is quite honestly a very impressive piece of software. It's shaping up to be quite a formidable FLOSS Photoshop competitor. For all of GIMP's effort, its interface comes across as a little too far removed from Photoshop, and as a result, it failed to win over many artists at all, whereas Krita, even if it does not aim to be a 1:1 PS clone, it remains in an area that's comfortably close to PS in the overall "feel." There are definitely areas, e.g. the brush system, that I'd argue are an improvement over PS anyway.
For drawing/painting and animation, Krita is mostly better than PS, IMO.
Brushes are tricky though. Every drawing program has some brushes which are better than anyone else's.
This feels like spam.

I hadn't heard of Krita -- it's open source, seems good HN material to me.
