I find that Adobe is really pulling away from open source software with all this AI stuff. A few years ago it could be argued that GIMP, Inkscape, and Darktable could do almost everything that Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom could, albeit with a jankier user interface.

But now none of the open source software can compete with AI generative fill, AI denoising, and now AI rotation.

Can't speak for PS vs GIMP but I used to use Illustrator a fair bit and Inkscape was nowhere near it in terms of both features and useability. Now that was 15 years ago, so it may have caught up.

You are correct even today. Inkscape is great but it’s a fraction of the utility that Illustrator offers.

The only people who would actually equate them are people not professionally using these tools everyday.

Even paid apps like affinity designer are a fraction of the functionality of Illustrator.

Again, a great product but people are just dead wrong if they compare them as an absolute.

While someone who just needs a functional vector graphics editor and is not being paid to use adobe software might prefer inkscape. Speaking from personal experience, there.

Sure, if they fit your need, nobody is saying you should pay for more.

This is a common response when someone says something is better. It doesn’t mean they’re saying you need the better stuff or judging folks who don’t need it.
