content: As a digital painting program, Krita is not competing in quite the same area as Gimp. I don't think you'll find anyone that favors Gimp for that use case, but that's not fair to Gimp. However Krita is generally much more well-liked than Gimp. It got quite some momentum too. They had a very successful Kickstarter not long ago, and it looks like this one is going to be too. Also, the Paris 8 University switched to it recently. Oh, and it's popular on Steam. I don't have a review of the actual application handy for you, but I hope that gives you some general idea of the situation.
