Even when it comes to open source. There's been many people I've recommended gimp to who insisted on pirating Photoshop instead.
These are people who would balk at the idea of downloading a song illegally or pirating most software, but somehow Photoshop was different.
Not professionals or people who needed advanced unavailable features or anything, people doing tasks easily accomplishable with gimp. Simple image editing and stuff.
- toxicFork 6y agoGimp was really really horrible in UX though
- cbozeman 6y agoBecause GIMP was and is a pile of garbage in terms of UI and UX. The same fate of entirely too much open source software. If it looks like trash and is difficult to learn, people are going to give up on it.
- edoceo 6y agoGimp is getting better tho.
- cbozeman 6y agoIt is true that miracles never cease.

Because the moral compass suggest Adobe is big, evil greedy for profit company so stealing from them makes you feel less guilty. And since everyone is doing it and it becomes a norm then why not do it?
