If you have a drawing in the painting/drawing workspace and select the animation one, it automatically transfers the drawing to the animation workspace.

That doesn’t mean your work in one cannot be inserted in the other. One strictly for painting and drawing and the other for animation. While TVPAINT presents itself with the animation and drawing/painting tools merged all in one main workspace, Krita divides its workspaces. That was until its 3.0 release, where animation tools were added. Krita was originally a 2D painting and drawing software, with a variety of tools to help you create illustrations in various styles. It was developed by the Krita Foundation. Krita is also a 2D painting/drawing and digital animation software. TV paint is available on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

And to make it fair, we even compared it with Toon Boom Harmony, which is a paid software.

TV paint is a paid software, with the prices ranging from 250€ to 1250€, depending on which version of the software you are purchasing. While TVPAINT certainly offers painting and drawing functionalities, it is mostly geared towards animation, the interface can tell you as much.
