lol. Yeah. I have spent a lot of time on other apps. I used to teach Photoshop and Illustrator at the local college. However the complexity of using those apps just felt like a lot. Moreso as I taught students how to make flyers and even simple websites, struggling with tools that would have been easier to use in MS Word. A huge part of the class was teaching the principles of design, which would have been easier had certain tools not been in the way so often. I did encourage my students to try out other software to see if they liked it better. These days I really like the simplicity of LO Draw, for example. Any time I need a new map for a campaign, it's really easy to just add a new page to the main document. And there are zero licensing issues to track along with the many others I already track. Plus the principles of design work the same, so with this "one simple trick" (25+ years of illustration and design experience) I can get superior graphics quality results with the same tools that others think are not so great. There's some nostalgia in there too; I used StarOffice from the moment I heard it was free. Back in the '90s that was kind of a big deal to a poor university student.
