>The brushes lag like fuck on any sizable canvas.
Krita does have much better brush performance, and I would be elated to have the same in CSP, but it's never been a deciding factor for me. I draw on huge canvases and it's only in the initial blockout that I need huge brushes, and those can be done perfectly well in CSP. After all they don't need tight spacing or fancy effects. All my detailing brushes work pristinely at the scale they're needed for.

>CSP's brushes suck dick
Depends on what you need. All my main CSP brushes use pen pressure to control flow and do subtle colour mixing - this is completely impossible in Krita, where the pathetic idiots, apparently none of them being artists, have chosen to separate the brushes into a bunch of different "engines" and the only engine that can do colour mixing forces the flow control to always be the same strength as the amount of colour mixing. The level of brain syphilis needed for this decision, I have no idea. But it does mean that you will never have a natural looking oil brush in Krita that gradually picks up colour from the canvas. Bye bye Krita.
Their interface choices feel about as skillful - a typical case of "Free Open Source Software" where geeks think they're so superior, being able to make a software "Better than all the paid ones" even though none of them apparently have any art skills. They'll omit essential features, such as the setting to disable docking of the brush panel, just because "we don't want to answer support questions about it". The result being that you can either have a tiny brush panel and spend all your time scrolling it, or float it and it goes spastic every time you touch it.
Other programs simply have a thumbtack button at the top to control the docking behaviour. In CSP, I touch one key, get a big palette of brushes, select one, touch the same key to close it.
