What does Gimp do that Krita (or other FOSS projects) can't?
I can't answer that question exactly, but I will say that they are built for different reasons.
Inkscape is an excellent vector tool
Krita has been built from the start to be a drawing, painting illustration tool
Gimp is an image manipulation tool.
Naturally they have features that cross over with one another but they are each the best at their specific goal
