Thoughts on Krita website presentation

The Ksuite Visual sounds nice... though for some reason it makes me think
more of multimedia than something that also includes 2D... I've thought of
Ksuite Vision, but for some reason that makes me think of a humanitarian
mission. :S

In the meantime I'm now Completely confused as to what program is supposed
to fill what niche. I Really think Open Source would benefit immensely by
having everyone sit together and agree on which niche each program is
trying to fit in.

Consumers like choice, but they also like to know what their choices are
supposed to be. The more confusing it all seems, the more they'll shy away
from the various possibilities (just look at Blue Ray vs HD DVD). Tell
them "This program is a light-weight program for painting, this one is a
more complicated and advanced one, this one is best for
photo-manipulation) and they'll love you. But make it more complicated and
both the users and the developers start sitting on the sidelines.

And that's without taking into account the manpower lost to overlapping.
*sigh*

I'm not saying that we should follow the example of Propriety softwares
and limit choices or the likes, but there shouldn't be anything to prevent
the various graphics communities to sit down together and agree on who's
what. Should there?
