After the first few paragraphs I still didn't know what Krita is. Obviously some graphics-related editor, but not much more.

I guess you also don't know about Blender, GIMP, Firefox or LibreOffice? Let me help you:

Blender: Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite.
GIMP: GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems.
Firefox: Firefox is the most trusted browser on the Web.
LibreOffice: LibreOffice is a powerful office suite

and finally:

Krita: Krita is a FREE sketching and painting program. It was created with the following types of art in mind:

Boudewijn, maybe it’s time for a nice winter vacation?

xav’s post was a fair (IMO) critique of Nate’s article … not of your software.

Yeah, I guess...

I just cannot stand the oblique dishonesty of this kind of criticism.

Of course this guy knew what Krita was, he just pretended in order to make a point, instead of coming out and saying directly, "Nate, you forgot to make the officially mandated introductory paragraph explaining the what, why, where, wherefore and whereunto" that all journalist courses teach. Please correct your omission and never sin in future." That would have been honest... Of all kinds of ignorance, pretend-ignorance is worst, especially these days.

In any case, I will be gone, pretty soon, for two weeks. I will be in Florence and Ravenna, with a sketchbook, visiting the Bargello and the San Vitale, and I think I will refrain from bringing a single CPU with me.

Nope, honest, "this guy" never used Krita and just knew it existed and was vaguely graphics-related.
And as said robbe it was (pacifically) directed towards the editor, not you. It's unfortunate you need to feel offended, you surely will enjoy your vacation.
