Simple, that is the point!
I don't know how I could achieve most of the digikam image plugins effect with 
Krita/Gimp/Photoshop. The reason is that I have never tried, but I doubt I 
can do it as easy and user friendly as in digikam: Limited choice of effects, 
get a preview, tweak parameters, documentation, no thinking about layers or 
any other concepts.

This is a different concept from Krita, and I think it is a different market 
niche and fully justifies development.
