It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

idk honestly i just don't think i really believe this take.

The only really objective aspect of it is going to be user complacency. It's possible you've been using PS for 10-20 years now. And switching seems like an impossibility. But honestly, given the feature set, or the non existing feature set, i don't think it really matters.

Ultimately you can still do graphics editing in GIMP, and you can still do graphics editing in PS, it's more about your adaptability and flexibility, rather than skill set, and software. I've used both photoshop, gimp, and photopea. They all do the same thing, photopea is worse than either. GIMP is more featured, and doesn't come with adobe, PS has AI editing, and probably like 2 other features, and also the copyrighted color pack that you have to pay ransom for.

They all work fine, stop complaining, you'll live. Maybe that's just the doomerism peaking through or something, but honestly, it's such a vapid complaint IMO.
