Interesting rhetorical device to distort what I said so that you can
claim that you are right and I am wrong.

What I said were three things which are still true:

1.	Most users of an office suite have little use for an application
	such as Krita.  What they need is a basic paint and drawing
	application to do basic design.  I guess that this does mean
	that Krita is the wrong application for what many users need.

2.	Krita will not do what I need.  I need a drawing application
	that allows total digital control of all operations like the old
	and outdated Xfig does.

3.	I see no reason to have two separate applications (Krita &
	Karbon).  It would be more useful to me to have a single
	application that would do both pixel and vector graphics.

I build from source and report the problems that I have.  Some people
find this helpful.  Any project needs build testers.

Perhaps due to your incorrect statements about various things.  Last
issue was that I found a REAL bug in Krita.  Yes, due to your past
attitude and tone, I incorrectly attributed the cause, but the bug was
real and there was an error in the code.  This problem had nothing to do
with the fact that I had built from source.
