I would be interested to know what you are doing that you can't accomplish with Gimp and Inkscape (since free seems to be high on your priority list).
Personally, from my perspective if this is something you are doing professionally, you need to invest in your tools. Same as does a carpenter, a mechanic, etc. The base tool can be a FOSS application, but then invest in writing your own plugins and extensions to enhance your workflow and meet your needs. - Nick On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 11:19 AM, Eric <eh.fx...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've already beaten this horse before, but I have to wonder if the lack of > a first class + free design view tool is also a significant factor.
