I think the main reason i use krita is just cause it clicks with my workflow, the amount of customization, how easy it is to share and install resources also helped in my decision to use it. But in the end it being free was what allowed me to even try it out.

NDE and drawing capability. Gives me some editing options, as well as drawing concepts. I do wish there is foreground selection tool and that’s all I feel Krita is missing. One of my biggest wish was mesh warp transformation, and that has been implemented recently.
Krita works on my desktop (usually Windows, sometimes Linux ) as well as my Samsung tablet. I can edit the same drawings in both places. There is strong feature correlation across platforms (could be improved for sure, but there is enough for me to enjoy both.).
The community is excellent. Warm, welcoming, willing to share and teach. Resources for all levels of skill and attainment (that I can see, maybe at the top it thins out.) Well written and comprehensive official documentation, and a host of 3rd party tutorials too. Developers and users intermingle.
Seems to have a good development cadence. There is steady improvement and fixing.There is organization behind it, in it. I don’t feel like as soon as a core developer has other interests the project is going to go stagnant. It stands a chance of carrying on. There is balance between the parts asking for money and the giving away. Neither feels compromised to me.
Raster and vector tools and features are both present. I see a possible future where I can use a single program for both art forms, and not have to jump back and forth between alien procedure and method paradigms (where tools are located, keyboard shortcuts, etc.).
Oh yeah, I almost forgot a most important and enjoyable part: it bloody well works!

Possibilities and quality is great, while still not fully discovered by users! (Plus being free also)!

I hate software whose text is tiny and hard to read due to low contrast. Krita is not perfect, but at least I can make the text bigger by “Use Custom Interface Font” and use a “Darker” theme. The other day, I tried Clip Studio Pro, and immediately noticed two problems.
- UI texts are tiny
- Very low contrast in the dark mode (text was not bright enough, and the background was not dark enough)
I have searched for solution but it seemed there was not any (they said they do not support independent UI scaling from the system DPI, which SUCKS. Increasing system DPI makes already big texts on other applications too big). So, I thought, screw this low-accessibility junk, and returned to Krita.
