    I think this is one thing people who don’t make art don’t really understand when it comes to making digital art. Changing the program you draw with is sometimes like changing from watercolors to oil paints; the “replacement” just can’t do what the artist is using the original for in the first place. It does not matter if it has 80% of the same technical specs if you can’t use it for what you are doing

      but then… maybe if the watercolors are making the world worse, it’s not really worth using them to make art?

        Why make art at all? But yeah maybe the artist is making their living with those watercolors, pretty hard to just stop that. Honestly though my frustration is geared towards the linux users that suggest “lol just use krita” en masse every time someone asks help to make some other art program run on linux. There’s plenty of others outside the megacorporation owned
