Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.

It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it’s the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.

Vintage Story.

It’s indie Minecraft-alike that expand survival element 100 times. With various unique lore and semi-realism gameplay.

Graphite.rs is node-based.

It’s entirely different workflow.

I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.

Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript

AlternativeTo is crowdsource, so one individual might find software A as suitable alternative, while others are not.

The same way that some people find GIMP enough to replace Photoshop, while others prefer Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, or Photopea.

I personally find so many cool underrated FOSS software, such as Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, Mihon, and Wick Editor.

Yep! There are so also many niche applications people never heard.

I regularly checking it for any FOSS alternative to any closed-source software. For example: Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, and Wick Editor.

It’s just your average cultural clash.

Most people on internet are accustomed with English naming culture. Meanwhile when people from non-Western (mostly US) making name that seems cool in their culture, it often lead to cultural clash. This also applies to symbol, gesture, etc.

You would be surprised that numbers of FOSS project from East Asia not having updated information/license/documentation in English.

Especially Japanese one, it’s one of the hardest language that even if people had a middle level certification like JLPT N3, they might still not be able to translate formal document properly.

On other hand, FOSS project from Southeast Asia or South Asia always keeps their English documentation/license/info up to date.

I mean for digital content. I live in Indonesia, and majority of people cannot afford to pay digital service, but an ads of foods or essential stuff works.

Instead of car, people of my country usually able to drive motorcycle.

But not me. I’d rather take my bicycle. I don’t want to deal with cost of maintaining motorcycle.

Which F-Droid client is that?

Vintage Story

Basically MInecraft for grown ups, also Native Linux available.

Average people will simply search app that has the most familiarity, so “looking for additional workaround” is often irrelevant.

The default toolbox placement is should be conform with other design software.

Sure, people can figure it out once they tried it, but majority of them will move to another software that has familiar experience out of the box.

When people asking me to install GIMP, I always change it to this layout, making it more familiar to another software like Inkscape, Krita, Affinity suites, Photoshop (and other Adobe software), etc.

Next GIMP 3.0 release has huge update to its UI and function. You should check it out.

Pretty much anyone outside Western area will think GIMP as cool branding, or at least neutral.

Let’s remember that language is diverse and even English itself is different between area.

If Indian English or Singaporean English speaker force every English speaker to adhere to their standard, everyone would be mad.
