The cons, sadly, made my time with Krita limited and I soon had to switch to a comparable paid product. While it doesn't have touch controls, its support for my drawing tablet seemed to be pretty robust (full disclosure, there are so many tablets on the market that it's hard to say whether my experience is representative). They also seem to be constantly updating the program. Although the layout is messy in some ways it keeps the main tasks fairly up-front and simple. The dock, tile, and brush system are all very solid and flexible.
The docking system is convenient and after a few basics I was able to get a good ways before really having to resort to online materials for extra help. It was approachable and pretty full-featured in its design. In the long run, a user running any kind of enterprise or business will likely want to find a paid product for the Quality Assurance and Support that comes with it. Overall, Krita is a very capable product, great for learning, and acceptable for its purposes. The few times I've run into seemingly unsolvable issues, a quick trip to the Krita forums helped me clear it up in a jiffy. In the years that I've used Krita, I've not come across a single issue that has hindered my ability to use the software. There are no "free trials", potential subscriptions or fees related to deploying it, which has converted me for life. Despite being the absolute best illustrating software on the market, Krita is 100% free to use, own and edit - it is fully open source, effectively meaning you, and everyone else, own it indefinitely. It marries the ease-of-use in Adobe Illustrator with some of the more complex brushes and rastering in Adobe Photoshop although I use both latter products daily, I use neither for illustration - that is Krita's domain. Krita is the best software in terms of illustration that I've used in my 12+ years in the industry it is far more intuitive than competitors like Adobe Photoshop because Krita has been developed primarily as illustrating software. Since there are no licensing requirements (even for large teams), the suite as a whole has saved us a small fortune, allowing us to divert our attention to our work, rather than worrying about expenses and whether or not our returns cover annual licenses.
Myself and my team in our illustration department have been making thorough use of it for years, and couldn't be more satisfied with what it offers.
Krita is a powerful (and free) illustration suite maintained by a large group of passionate artists and developers.
