However, what really riles us up, going with your example, is when someone says something to the effect of that we can't use Adobe, because it is closed-source, and that The GIMP is automagically better, because it is Open-Source.
thats what gets people like me, Ecsyle, and Jimmy pissed off, and ignites a flamewar.

But I haven't. You can use whatever you want. I perfer the gimp, but thats me. Open or not I like the gimp. If you like Adobe, sure, thats your opinion.
:D
Hmmm, wer're making head way. Good stuff!
I agree. Just because its open-source does not mean thats all you should use and nothing else. far from it. I fell in love with Linux, not because its open-source but because its the first OS I can do stuff with without constantly tweeking it or repairing it.

Yes. I have found I like the tweaking though, as I learn about the internals of the OS, and It can come in handy if something breaks. Thats my opinion, and only mine.
My beef is with those that wish to make this site from a anti-ms site, to a anti-"everything but linux" site. I HATE to see any OS be bashed without justification. If I do see it, many times I step in and TRY to correct it peacefully. I start to flame when I get flamed.
I live by the converse of the Golden Rule.
I never said it was you doing that, but there are those here, i'm not giving names out, who do try and force OSS on people, because it is OSS. which is deeply annoying.

I do not care much about if something is open source, but I do like a program is it is designed well. I consider Photoshop one program that is really good. I do not like to use Gimp just becuase it is another program I would have to learn, however I have to give it credit for being free and open source, while photoshop is like a million dollars.
