Re: [Gimp-user] Affinity is an alternative
I would tend to agree with Ken that this sounds much more like trolling. No different than "suggesting" someone use photoshop to this list than affinity - all closed source and not real alternatives.

Re: [Gimp-user] Affinity is an alternative
No, I was just trying to be helpful to those who may be looking for an inexpensive alternative. It would seem I've disturbed the religious purists. Linux is for losers.
