Myself, I'm simply a designer who's used to using Adobe's products, like most others in this profession.
not an excuse
I contribute to Ubuntu in my spare time, and if I had to try and learn GIMP or Inkscape, I wouldn't have any time left to contribute.
oh well, it takes very little time....I did it....again, it is just an excuse. Add up all the times you have rebooted to get to the other and you would have already learned our own ;) Common sense!
And what are the real advantages of switching to either of those programs?
art from the OS the art is supporting?
It won't make my art any better.
yes it does
but it will make some people feel better,
no it won't
even though the users of the software largely will not care or even know.
that's why
I'm thankful, however, that a lot of people have responded to this by saying that they're okay with the usage of proprietary software.
this politically correct world is very sad indeed
I just wanted to make sure that this list won't actively discourage users to contribute if they do. It's actually this reason why I haven't started contributing to Ubuntu since around the Hoary cycle. I just didn't feel like I belonged in what seemed to be a small and strict community.
that was good

Keep it up, and use whatever you think it's better. Freedom is also about not forcing anyone to use free software.
Oh that freedom word can be a lot of things. Including and not limited to supporting the other os's. How can someone say 'we are up against Vista' and use its software to improve its own os? Freedom? No! Lack of vision and principle!
