    Nah, the only reason those tools are used are because of momentum and the fact that most of their new hires have experience with it, also due to momentum.

    Ban Photoshop from being taught in schools, and in two generations everyone will say that Photoshop is crap because it takes so long to do anything.

      This is definitely the take of someone who doesn’t need the full capabilities of such tools to make a living.

        This is definitely the take of someone who learned Photoshop before learning Gimp and doesn’t understand its full capabilities.

          You made me chuckle! I was raised on open source by a software engineer. I was using gimp on Ubuntu when I was 7 or 8 years old. I understand your sentiment completely, but you need to understand that time is money, and if something like layer blending takes even a few more clicks in gimp than photoshop, it is not ready to compete. Of course, you can think whatever you want about software you don’t rely on for a living. The rest of the world will smile and move on with reality.
