I've never like the Gimp. I find it unintuitive and hard to use, but to be fair I've never really given it a fair shake either.
I've looked at some screenshots of Krita and it looks much nicer as far as layout goes. I mainly use Photoshop for web layout work and some minor photo work. What I'm looking for personally is something that I can be happy with for such things and a good solid replacement for dreamweaver. Thus far I haven't really found anything that I like.
With that said KDE 4 does sound like it shaping up to be an awesome update.

I've found a collection of tools that to me are much better than dreamweaver. I use bluefish together with firefox with the webdeveloper extension, the view source chart extension, the edit css extension, the firebug extension, and the html validator extension. I don't even use firefox as my main browser but you can almost develop websites with it alone.

Krita is as limited as GIMP. I personally feel more comfortable with Krita's GUI than with the GIMP's, because it makes more sense to me, but both of them are terribly limited. Remember that the GIMP doesn't support bold text if you don't have the specific bold TTF file.
Besides that comment on TTF, what makes GIMP so terribly limited? I'm no graphic artist, but I'd like to know anyway.
On the other hand, Krita does have CMYK support, wich you won't find in GIMP. And yes, I also find Krita's UI more friendly.

There are 400 feature requests, most of which have not been addressed for years.
