    Hey, a lot of people have deadlines and can’t just drop everything to spend a week learning if GIMP even meets their needs when Adobe is knocking their door down with this EULA change right the fuck now

    And Adobe is counting on that. They knew this was bullshit and people would be made which is why the dropped it with (what seems like) zero warning

      No hard feelings towards people who couldn’t, or didn’t, see this sort of thing coming.

        I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It’s been a pain but I’ve managed. I’m just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

        It’s not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don’t care.

          Marketing won’t switch because GIMP and Inkscape simply aren’t as capable as PS currently. I hate Adobe, but they have professionals by the short hairs because all of the current competition is simply not competition at all for professional use.

          No one has an unlimited tolerance to being mistreated. They will care at some point because it can, and will, get worse. It’s just of question of if people discover what is happening or if they carry on oblivious.
