Hmm wasn’t really an issue for me at Hi-Rez as a graphic designer, but yeah keep drinking the industry standard Kool-Aid!

Everybody hear that? It didn’t happen to this one guy so it must never happen ever anywhere!

  If that’s your takeaway from what I said I guess I can’t fault you. I don’t think that’s what I implied, but what do I know about what I meant?

Sure, but when I’m a cog in a bigger machine I need to prioritize my work being able to be continued by others or else I’ll be stuck making every single change on it that needs to be made in the future. The architecture we use to use the same PSD on AE projects and embedded webapps is essential to the system functioning as needed. Many, if not most places follow that same line of thinking and using a separate program that isn’t intended for that inner-platform use. It might be kool-aid but it’s a problem bigger than what OS I’d like to use.

  I was a cog as well. I worked on others PSDs and they worked on mine. The work I did was of the same quality and any quirks with applications fell in my lap so it isn’t like my choice of OS or application was a hindrance to that cog.
  
  I mean the folks that came before us allowed Adobe to basically insert itself as the only option and just like you’re doing right now use excuses about “well that’ just how it is” in order to continue to keep them as the “industry standard”. Picasso didn’t use Photoshop but here we are.

    When you have to deal with quirks (and Adobe just progressively adding more ‘quirks’ to overcome) to use the programs you need to make your living, your initial claim of ‘just use Linux!’ still sounds like an unhelpful answer. I mean I use Linux daily but I still need to work in an ecosystem.
    
    Regarding Picasso, use whatever for personal art but people use the “industry standard” so they know any of their colleagues can use my deliverable for anything they should need to is a novel thing. I have plenty of personal experience why deviating causes problems where you least expect it to. It’s a shitty monopoly but I’m glad you have a means that allows you to work outside of it (keep doing it, it’s a good thing!)
