I’m not considering me as an artist…
I don’t use Windows for many reason…
So, Krita is my only painting reference software and I’m happy with it 
But in general my point of view for all softwares I use is pretty simple:
- I like it
- It let me do what I want
==> I use it
Otherwise I’m looking for another software
This work for any type of software: graphics, video, music, coding, office, utils…
I’m not sure to understand the goal of your topic, but I hope it won’t generate trolls, tensions, conflicts, disputes, swear words
