Turns out that after 6 years of not drawing, I'm completely out of touch on software (hence my recent posts being entirely analog).

Adobe has made me beyond angry by not offering Photoshop in any way other than a cloud solution with storage I don't need and other software I don't want, so that one's right out.

Gimp 2.10 is ..... WEIRD. Is it worth getting used to? Has anyone else upgraded from 2.8? Can I just install 2.10 or should I remove 2.8 first?

What is this Krita I keep hearing about? Their website isn't very descriptive, other than saying hey look these people used it to paint these pictures.

Is there something else I should be looking at? I don't mind paying -- if it's reasonable.

I do like to actually draw stuff with a tablet, so I'm not really interested in CC3 etc., and wow I'm horrible with vectors, so I need something raster-based.

What does everyone suggest?
