Gregory's ServerWhy do we need tools for "professionals"? They're just making corporate trash, polluting our culture.
It would be better for the applications to focus on their free users.
As a side note, I was packaging Inkscape back when it was called Sodipodi. :)

 @jebba poteyto potahto. It's about the quality and feature-completeness of the tool, not about the business/employment status of the person using it. And making these tools polished enough for professional use *will* benefit casual users. Case in point: Blender, which did exactly that and is much, much better for it also for "weekend 3d-modellers". > Why do we need tools for "professionals"? They're just making corporate trash, polluting our culture. These professional users might be working for your local theater, local library, local school. They can be fedi artists (yes, that is professional use — they get paid for their work). They can be people working for the FSFE, or Amnesty International, or whatever NGO you choose to support. No idea where you got this weird notion that "professionals" are only "corporate".  @jebba People have different needs. Casual tools are good when needs are basic, and professional tools are good when needs are complex. |
@jebba @rysiek @inkscape because some of us are making things for local businesses and non-profits. I volunteer for community theaters, for example. It would be nice to be able to effectively layout a playbill using FLOSS.
