I wish there were an open source design app with as much thought behind UX as Krita.
I got Affinity Designer just as soon as I found out about it after many failed attempts to understand Inkscape. There's just no comparison. Inkscape needs to have that moment of focus that got Blender over its UX wall.
I'm sure they're in better financial shape four years later, but that's a lot of money to invest without assurance at least 10,000 people ($500,000/$50 sale price) will buy it.
