Selections. Gradients. Color wheels. Pattern filling.
Krita has really making progress over the past few weeks. We now have: selections, Gimp gradient loading, a gradient tool, a hsv color wheel, a fill tool that fills with colour or Gimp patterns, a text tool, a number of filters (sharped, blur, convolve, colour filters) and a baseclass that makes writing new filters really easy. The rulers can be shown or hidden according to your taste and inclination. Tools have got shortcuts. The handling of tablets and the painting of lines has been really improved. Drag and drop. Lots and lots of bug & crash fixes. Code cleanups. Work is being done on a really good image scaling algorithm.
I think we can cherish a measure of hope for Krita's inclusion in the next KOffice release. Here's a screenshot:
