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.

400 feature requests? Dear lord! Such terrible news. Let's look at KDE.

Oh my! Over 12 THOUSAND feature requests! I can only recoil with horror at the mere thought of how limiting KDE must be.
