@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".

@jebba @rysiek @inkscape Except to make it look nice, I need better than hobby tools.

A little bit of this is me, an actual graphic designer, wanting actually good tools. I can't layout a playbill with inkscape. I need a tool like Scribus, but better than Scribus.
