I understanded krita more like a artist tool for draw than a photo editor.
It can do a lot, for example some people use it as a PDF editor.
That's how it started, as more of a replacement for Corel Painter, but today it's a very competent photo editor too, personally I find it much better than GIMP.
It's not free of pain points though - text editing sucks compared to Photoshop, (it's similar but better than GIMP though, both input text into dialog prompt then render it, GIMP is one and done, you need do it again if you want to edit, Krita lets you edit) no WYSIWYG on the canvas.
Also getting used to the UI will take a bit from PS.
