Krita 2.4 on Windows: pros and cons

[Ramón Miranda]

I agree with David
" For Beta tester volunteers only : a first unstable beta version of
Krita forWindows is out. Not suited for production ...etc.... "

anyway how much users are reporting bugs to Krita devs? and how many people
are using Krita ? and for which tasks exactly? maybe it would be interesting
to know this kind of things.
