Would you recommend using Krita for image creation? Despite the fact that "image authoring" is a point listed in the very first sentence on gimp.org's main page, and that "painting" *is* the first bullet point category on the GIMP info page, from what you say and what I see GIMP does not actually seem to be the right tool for "producing icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements" -- as it is an image editing application and not a "drawing" program. An alternative solution to making drawing tools readily available is to edit the description on gimp.org and remove any claims that GIMP is the best tool for drawing these kinds of elements (it's not... I'm not trying to be too critical just realistic, it is much easier for me to draw, say, a clean square button in mspaint than it is in GIMP -- on the other hand GIMP is a great tool for, say, touching up photographs). I need a "drawing" program, but I am unfamiliar with the other tools that are out there. The next time I boot into Linux I'll probably try Krita, are there any other good drawing applications you can recommend?
