    I love the concept of open source, but you can only make so many compromises in quality and usability

    I think this is a false dichotomy. You contradict yourself in the next sentence with an example that FOSS isn’t necessarily inferior.

      Blender enters the chat.

      FOSS is a slow moving boulder. Eventually it catches us and consumes competition if it can keep momentum.

      You need to check your reading comprehension. I never said there’s any such dichotomy about FOSS as a general concept. I specifically named Gimp, Inkscape, and Scribus before and after that sentence. Just because a FOSS “alternative” exists, doesn’t mean it actually is an alternative, or at least an acceptable one. Each software has to be evaluated individually. In the case of Gimp, Inkscape, and Scribus, they would not be acceptable in a professional creative space.
