@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social If only you were right, but be serious the quality of Adobe softwares is 300 % better than any soft you cite.
- @greenman @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
  That's a nice round number. How did you get to it?
  
  @Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social the same method used to affirm you can replace Adobe softwares by the listed softs
  
  @greenman @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
  But as far as I know you can.
  Bitmap design ✔️
  Vector design ✔️
  Layout ✔️
  Video editing ✔️
  Photo retouching ✔️
  Animation ✔️
  ...
  Maybe you have info I am lacking. What 300% more tasks can you not do with FLOSS tools that you can with Adobe products?
  Also, could you define "better"? In what way are they "better"? Because it is not in all ways, is it? The way they treat users is atrocious, so in that sense they are not "better", right?
  
  @Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social better means you do not have to click on thousands buttons to make one thing (just try the text tool in inkscape and come back to see me), ui more intuitive, less bugs
  
  @greenman @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
  I am reading "I think Adobe products are better because I know how to use them."
  There is no such thing as an "intuitive ui", just one you have become used to. See 1.
  Can you back this up with some stats?
  And that would be three things, hardly 300% more things.
  
  @Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social obviously you like to read what you want to read :)
- So the quality is worth the price of not owning the work you do?
  I guess everyone has to make their own call...
  
  @deaffish i have never said that ! I totally disagree their abusing methods but it is a different question than claiming does softs listed are as good, bref don't want to troll
- @greenman @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
  It also uses at least 300% more resources and makes PCs run like dogshit, it's super awesome!
  
  Are you implying that Adobe products are not "300% better"??!??! Outrageous.
  
  @Bro666
  Oh at least, worth every penny they mercilessly suck out if your wallet, and every bit of resources out of your PC, they'll take it all and you have absolutely no alternative, if you're "professional" enough, that is.
  
  @jabeez @Bro666 I add that I tried scribus, inkscape and darktable.
  I know a bit in indesign, a lot lightroom, and a bit illustrator.
  I add of course Adobe commercial methods are awful but their softwares far more developed than the foss softwares. This is quite understandable if we think about their means
  
  @greenman @Bro666
  Of course, guess it all comes down to how much you value time vs data privacy and being abused by a megacorp. I'll readily admit I'm not a professional content creator, but have worked adjacent to them and had to deal with Adobe products, and it made me hate them even more, well before all of this. They're just a really shitty company, and now arguably straight up abusive.
