This is the market GIMP needed to fill but doesn't. It's definitely capable but it's never been "friendly and pleasant" to my eye.

Krita feels like GIMP done right to me,

I am using both[1] and I never understood these kind of comments. Their UI is so similar.

[1] Krita more as paint tool on my Lenovo Yoga, Gimp more as an editing tool on other computers.

As long as there continue to be tutorials for how to draw a circle in GIMP, they will not seem alike to me.

I used GIMP for years and years before Pixelmator came around, and the first time I tried Pixelmator was the last time I used GIMP.

As others here mentioned, Krita is also much nicer. If Pixelmator didn't exist it's probably what I'd use instead.

Paint.NET fills that market also, but it's Windows-only shareware.
