You made me chuckle! I was raised on open source by a software engineer. I was using gimp on Ubuntu when I was 7 or 8 years old. I understand your sentiment completely, but you need to understand that time is money, and if something like layer blending takes even a few more clicks in gimp than photoshop, it is not ready to compete. Of course, you can think whatever you want about software you don’t rely on for a living. The rest of the world will smile and move on with reality.

This is definitely the take of someone who doesn’t need the full capabilities of such tools to make a living.

Sick, so is my water. I love my well but wow the minerals are insane. Going to steal this tip and use it from now on, thanks!

Isnt this really tough on the dishwasher internals? Corrosively so? Thats why I veered away from this way thus far.
