Introduction After a year of work since the first version of GIMP 3.0, we’re proud to release GIMP 3.2! In addition to our main roadmap items of “non-destructive layers”, this release is packed with all sorts of new features, UX/UI refinements, and stability improvements. Non-destructive Layers …
I tried Krita. It’s not not as good as GIMP is. What I will say is, it is pretty good for what it is and offers stuff that GIMP does not have. In fact I wanted to switch multiple times because of the support for Vector layers and non destructive workflows. But I never liked editing or creating images with it. Their text tool is also terrible (or was, I don’t know the current state). Just not a good GIMP replacement for me.
I argue that GIMP is for image creation too. It does even better job at this, depending on what type of work you are doing. I don’t like to create pixel (as in retro gaming) graphics in Krita. I am not talented at all, but I can judge the workflow I think. That was just an example off course. We all know Krita excells at creating painted like arts with a pen and brushes simulation.

Krita has been working on the text tool in recent years, so it might be better than you remember it.
Krita is excellent, but it’s for a different task.
Krita is for image creation. GIMP is for image manipulation.

My point was they have different strengths rather than saying one is better than the other. Use the right tool for the job, and all that.
