1. GIMP makes logo better than Photoshop. if you have not tried it then
have a look.
2. Sporting material produced by proprietary software, specially by those
which have free alternative, carries a negative impression. Would you like
to see linux docs in MS-WORD format? it makes a ridicule of the whole thing.
3. If someone is not using pirated software, what will be of more
importance to him while choosing between a astronomically priced proprietary
solution's ease of use and a free one's cost and future possibilities?
