To me that sounds more like the free user / volunteer, not professional usage.

@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.

What do you use now?

Do you have an example playbill?

@jebba @rysiek Affinity Publisher. It's a rock solid tool and I don't have to pay for it every month. I would give them good money to port it to Linux.

Or, I would give good money to an open source project to be better. Either one works

Can you give money to Scribus? Not sure if they have donations.
