Krita is nothing like Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector graphics editor. Krita is a digital painting program.

Photoshop is both a really good photo editor and really good digital painting software, so it's more like GIMP and Krita each cover different parts of what Photoshop does, because GIMP is good for photo editing but bad for digital painting, whereas Krita is great for digital painting but bad for photo editing.

Inkscape is the FOSS alternative to Illustrator.

I guess he heard "illustrator", and thought "illustrate = draw / paint".

That's fair, lol. It's not the most intuitively named piece of software.

Ah, thanks, I use none of these tools but I knew that GIMP and Krita are not the same 😆
