    while Pencil2D draws in vector, it does not support tweening. Synfig has tweening but doesnt support raster. Pencil2D is better compared to Krita than Synfig. and Synfig is better compared to Kage Studio than Pencil2D.

    the learning curve for Synfig is too high unlike in Kage Studio, you simply draw, animate, and export.
