The person uses this for their job and the only software alternative has a
very large learning curve. If they were beginners in their field of work,
then the learning curve wouldn't be as bad. But this person has to do
advanced things every day as part of their work. It is comparable to telling
somebody that is not a computer programmer that they need to become a very
strong programmer before they can continue with the work they need to do.
I will tell them that unless they are able to quit their job and learn the
new program for a year, they will need to use this nonfree software within
the Windows OS. They should use it in Windows but they should not use it on
top of WINE in GNU/Linux. Even though when they use it with Windows they are
using more than one nonfree program as well as all the other drawbacks of
using Windows.
One question: If you are not willing to help people with WINE, then why is it
available in the Trisquel repositories? Why do the Trisquel developers help
people run nonfree software but the rest of the community does not?
