Honestly, I'm more interested in getting these projects made than in "what if"ing the future. I have a hard time imagining my needs exceeding what I expect to remain in the hobbyist sphere, and I have the ability to transfer my skillset to another tool when the time comes. I'd rather spend a month trying things out with the free thing with lots of reference material than go off on my own path spending hundreds on some indie software that I might only use a few times.
