Krita Kickstarter - Help Fund More Awesome!
    11 years ago
            The Krita folks are running a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund some pretty awesome development goals. As an avid user of Krita I wholeheartedly urge you to go and check it out - http://krita.org/kickstarter.php
For those not aware, Krita is an open source art program that completely kicks ass. People have said it's comparable to SAI, though I haven't used that software to make the comparison. I've essentially waved goodbye to Photoshop after using it for 17 years though, that's how much I love this program.
Go throw money at them! Go! *makes shooing motions with paws*

It's a lot better than GIMP for arty stuff (GIMP remains good for technical design stuff), but there are a number of glaring UX faults, like auto-pan getting stuck on, it spontaneously forgetting which end of the stylus is which, and the difficulty of accurately selecting precise small brush sizes, that take the shine off it for me.
I'm sticking with it for now though - I need to raise bug reports for those issues I notice.
