I must agree... I've never used any other aspect of Koffice, and
probably won't --- I have MS Office on my machine via cross-over. I
admit that I initially thought a little less of Krita since it was 'the
drawing package of Koffice'... I'd never attempt to use the drawing
package of openoffice to do anything real, and so I wasn't tempted to
use Krita... I'm discovering now that it rivals and exceeds the
Gimp in many aspects.
I'm curious --- how many of the Koffice components does Krita depend on?
but even if we don't remove the dependancies --- I think having more of
an 'independent' mind-set for Krita might gain more attention.
