I try Krita every now and then (probably will again with this release) but I always find myself going back to Clip Studio Paint at some point. The out of the box experience is just better somehow.
Krita shortcuts were not chosen by someone who draw. Why do you need 2 hands to rotate the view , one of my hand have the pen in it ?!?

It's limited vector painting tools are what keep me in Clip Studio. It's the first thing I look for with each Krita release.
Truthfully, CSP is also not quite everything I would want out of vector tools, it's just closer. What I've been interested in for a while and haven't been able to replicate is drawing in multiple passes: draw a stroke's position, then its thickness, then its strength, then its velocity, all as separate steps.
CSP sort of has this; you can redraw vector strokes (or at least could last time I used it), and it was great. But I feel like it could be taken further and I feel like it's an area where there could be a lot of innovation beyond what CSP even allows. But I don't think there's consensus yet from the Krita team about what direction they would want to go, and to be fair, I'm not sure I would be able to answer that question either. I'm not sure just copying CSP would be the right move, I do want to see more actual experimentation in that space beyond just vector layers -- like ideally I'd like to be able to do multiple-pass strokes in paint layers too?
But it is a really big weakness of the app right now, I agree.

I don't know how close it actually is though.
Will have to check it out to see if it has my most-longed-for feature. The ability to nudge the selection by a single pixel with the arrow keys.

From the release notes: - Krita now have a Clip Studio Paint compatible shortcut scheme
You're right, I'm looking at the release notes now. But it's a very weird deja vu moment. There are a couple of features listed here that I really thought were already released. I need to check what my upstream is...

I'm not familiar with the project but this sounds like a good first contribution, if you want to get involved as a developer :)
Any chance of seeing this feature request in future releases?
