Looks like the author answered their own question as to why some people still aren't happy with the available options. After all, photo editing is what Photoshop was designed to do.

Nice post about Krita Anyway it would be nice if Linux had Photoshop, why haven’t they done this sometime over the last two decades when people first noticed

Porting to linux isn't worth it. Cause most of the people who would switch are existing customers. And with the CC model it is never going to happen

Honestly because this person is incorrect in their supposition that Krita competes with Photoshop. Gimp competes with Photoshop (extremely poorly), Krita is OSS Corel Painter and it's great at that. They're all image editing tools sure, but the focus is different.

I never said Krita is competing with Photoshop, I just compared them, take a look at the last rant :D

ok but when the title of the article is “linux doesn’t have photoshop” and the article is set up to be an answer to that belief you can understand how some people might be confused

You got to be judicious with limited resources, :)

Yes the same reason for the past two decades

If anyone from Adobe is reading this, I would use CC with subscription on linux and advocate for licenses in my whole office if it was an option

Cheers

You didn't get it right? Most of the customers who would switch are already using CC on Mac or Windows so why add the costs of maintenance and support for another platform.

Aside from that, their code base is somewhat quirky, which would definitely increase the cost of porting
