Yes... Though we often get asked why krita isn't easier. Sometimes that means
"It isn't photoshop, it's so hard", sometimes it means "it has more functionality
than Paint Tool Sai" -- but sometimes it means "I cannot be arsed to create a 
new image before painting on it, you guys suck" -- and we need some way to articulate
that Krita is exactly in the category you mention. Sovereign applications that
are open full screen and used for up to 24 hours a day.

say "Krita is not an image editing application". It's a bit of an in-joke :-)
