What we need is a distro created by people who know what they are doing, not attempts by people who don't! > > No, no and no.

And btw.: How easy is it to use a program that's not part of a certain vendor's portfolio, but actually more suited to the task in a workflow? I agree with you in that "[y]et another distro won't get us there," but else you seem to be advocating an authoritarian approach. It won't happen, no matter how often you claim superior knowledge -- sorry for this, but your arrogant tone almost asked for a retaliation ;P Moreover, I'd be glad if you were more careful with statements like "Pick any pro user." Like it or not, there are millions of professionals out there who use a mix of different applications and vendors to get their work done. > > > While the latter is true, the former isn't, at least IMHO, and it's not > > just look'n' feel.
