The creative world needs to stop supporting Adobe Photoshop. The industrial design world needs to stop supporting Solidworks/AutoCAD. Everyone needs to stop supporting Microsoft Windows/Apple OSX. etc. I've been telling people for years they should be using GIMP and Linux but nobody cares. At least Oracle's stranglehold seems to be weakening.

Have GIMP developers ever discussed usability? Because it sure doesn't show!

The alternative to Photoshop is that I gave $40 to Pixelmator and now I have an awesome photo editor that does plenty.
