I would not invite judgements of art based on something else than design qualities. If we want to use designs from free tools because we want to make a show case, then we shouldn't accept anything else right from the beginning. Most people here seem to think that the design process isn't a valid or relevant aspect of art creation. Therefore they strongly argue for ignoring the tools as long as the result satisfies the technical specs. > > I think it benefits Debian (& the FOSS community by extension) more > > to have awesome artwork to impress & attract the masses rather than > > getting one or two designers to try switching to an open source > > package. It's not about a few designers. It's about our confidence and pride. Using the products from someone else despite working in the same field does say a lot about what you think of your own product.
