For sure. If one (and myself included) use the to nicety of Photoshop Illustrator GIMP's user interface is left much to be desired. However, from a open platform perspective, do I really want many hours of editing work to be tight to a cloud platform to a proprietary format? Think not just about now or one year from now, but 10 years, 20, 50 years from now, 100 years? Open format and open source software is much desired for creation based software. There is the paradox of the making money for the open source software, and I don't have an answer for that. Seems like some kind of sliding scale payment will be needed for these software. May be also some kind of sliding scale payment for eventual money earned form the software up to a limit.
