Hmm, if we count in the predecessors (Krayon and KImageShop) Krita is
not all that new. Unfortunately, nobody would invest enough time to get
it into a releasable state so far. And, yes, a lot of users would also
love to see a free bitmap editor with a usable GUI (i.e. an alternative
to GIMP).

Well, in theory, there are Corel Draw and PhotoPaint for Linux
(http://linux.corel.com). But they were abandoned / put on the
backburner before they really worked. AFAIK, they did not even publish
some major patches they already had for the latter.
