I don't think there's such a huge gulf between Krita and Photoshop for digital artists. I do work with it professionally all the time, mostly dealing with texture work for CG.
Digital artists is a pretty wide term.
But if we’re limiting it to stuff like illustrations and texturing, it’s very capable. I’ve introduced it in several areas specifically for that.
however for other things like photo retouching and product design, Photoshop has a pretty wide moat at the moment
