After it works well and stable on Windows it is only a matter of time. I
see Qtiplot as an example of a good application that can sustain itself
based solely on the sale of binaries. The road is bright and shiny :)

As you can see, plenty of stuff that will be really useful for "regular" \
Krita, both on Windows and on Linux. I'm really excited about this, not just \
