What if you explored how people using the Foss apps use them? Be open to workflow change.
If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.
If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you’ve fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.
Well Foss or not, when you change tools, you’re going to have to adapt and change a few things.
On top of that, not all graphics projects need more users, most are small projects, and and influx of new users who just groan about how its “not a free Photoshop/illustrator/InDesign etc etc” is pretty annoying.
@manos_de_papel I’ve done a bit of that, but it’s difficult once you find a way that’s objectively faster/less keystrokes to get something done. Not all proprietary software’s got it figured out either, I just wish I had option to configure things how I want with the open source tools.
Not to mention, people looking for alternatives may not be as patient as I am. I think the value of UX cannot be understated when it comes to creative tools
Foss or not, if you’re changing tools, you’re going to have to change your workflow.
If you don’t want to change , then you’ll just always be stuck with what you have.
