Illustrator needs disruption, true. But Photoshop needs disrupt even more! (And don't get me started on only two computers for the full subscription install!)

  Yes sir. I thought Krita was going to be a good new alternative for Photoshop, being open source but sadly it's got basic things missing. You can't even nudge a layer using arrow keys you have to drag layer content with the mouse. Laggy too. GIMP is well, always GIMP. Paintshop Pro, Corel Draw, Painter those don't really hit the mark. UI is always just odd. I feel lost honestly. I'm glad I have cs6 master collection and plan on squeezing it for all I can over the next few years. I hate mucking around with Illustrator, though it's got some cool things it uniquely does. I use Xara Designer Pro for a lot of work. It's awesome and flexible but it's not gonna replace Photoshop.

    At least for Linux, Xara Xtreme is quite nifty [http://www.xaraxtreme.org/ http://www.xaraxtreme.org/]. It's now been abandoned but it definitely had lots of potential.

    Of course you can move a layer with the keyboard. You just need to configure that, because that's not the default. And it's not the default because our users tell us they prefer to pan with the arrow keys by default.

  Photoshop's seeing some serious disruption in the comics scene; a LOT of people I know have been switching to Manga Studio 5ex and raving about how much better it is for basic painting/drawing, never mind extra domain-specific features PS will probably never have. Also there are a fuckton of people trying to disrupt PS but very few stabs at Illustrator.
