Checked. It depends.Do you need Photoshop's capabilities? Do you need 32 bit exr editing or just paint freckles on a low poly character?

Well I'm a hobbyist 2D animator that mostly just uses 3D models for props. I recently got a new PC and wasn't sure if I should continue using PS when Krita has advanced a lot lately

Well if Licencing is not an issue install both. If yes the Krita seems a good fit.

Explain your reasoning. What can it do that Krita can't?

I've used Photoshop for a while now as a digital artist. And I've attempted animation in photoshop a few times. Nothing more than like 8 frame loops. Personally, I think animation is photoshop is absolutely atrocious. At least, the default options are. I haven't tried any plugins.

I've dipped my toes into Krita, just to see what it was like. It appears Krita can do all the things I used Photoshop for. And it has a much better animation interface. So it's probably best to animate with Krita. Krita also appears to have better brush options, and is overall more art tool focused. While Photoshop lives up to its name, and offers options for quick image editing.

If I were learning from square 1, I would start with Krita. But I'm already too familiar with photoshop to see myself switching now. Still, if you don't mind learning a new program, I'd recommend making the switch for the timeline alone.

From what I've read Gimp is still bad

if you want for 3d work, buy affinity photo/designer. Have been using them for over two years, never had a need to get photoshop

Imagine thinking that spending 1h of your time on pirating a software which will do nothing but help improve your art is such a huge time investment that you need expert advice to help you decide...

NGMI, sorry

let me put this bluntly - affinity is not as "pro" nor is it as "clean".

Yeah it's fine.
