I've tried using Krita before, and it sure didn't seem like a "Photoshop killer" to me.

Can you go into more detail? I often wonder what issues people have with GIMP's UI.
It's fucking hard to use. What are you fishing for here?

It's gotten better, but is still less consistent than Photoshop.
Also, it suffers from being "not Photoshop" -- to the extent that there've been various(?) projects in changing the UI to mimic Photoshop (eg: gimpshop).
Personally I've grown more accustomed to Gimp (and the UI has improved) -- but I still find Photoshop to be a better experience. But the difference is more subtle than it used to be.

For me it was mainly about multiple windows that I never could find fast enough when I needed them

It seems to me like someone excitedly posted this without really understanding what Krita actually does, or perhaps the differences between an app like Photoshop, an app like Illustrator, and an app like Corel Paint.

#26Photoshop "killer"?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You can change that now. Gimp supports a single window mode, it's a lot nicer.

Specific criticisms, perhaps? I, for one, prefer GIMP's user interface, and find Photoshop's unintuitive and difficult to use.

Things that are obnoxious about the gimp:
--Working with transparent layers and channels (compared with PS) is clunky.
--Too much duplication of buttons and window tabs; there are like four ways of exiting the program from the same place (window toolbar, tool pallette toolbar, WM exit, right-click tool panel, etc.)
--Weird script/filter difference (why are there both? why do some destroy undo history and others not?)
--No great selection tools (color matching, fuzzy matching, etc. compared to PS).
--Really really obnoxious "Save as..." which directs you to export for using non-xcf files (and it'll even chide you about that, when it's obvious what you want to do).
--Thousands of other miscellaneous gripes and grumbles.

#30Does it have the "magic" tools like content aware fill, patch tool, and spot healing brush that Photoshop does? These are kinds of things my professional artist and photographer friends appreciate about the app.
