Interesting links! I was suggesting the flipbook/browser plugin more as a way to get multiple images open in krita for easy switching -- i.e., a kind of extended tabbing interface.

For the text tool, we'd really need to first investigate what artists need out of it and then find a way to get the resources to implement it properly. I doubt that the artistic text tool will give us a proper base to work from (and the same for the multiline text tool, which is really geared towards producing text in paragraphs.)
