Even if the open source option is only slightly worse, why would a professional allow that to impact how they earn a living?

Yeah precisely. The Adobe suite is affordable if you’re actively making money off using it. It’s also why there’s not as much investment in competing open source projects.
$80 CAD/mo for the whole suite minus the substance stuff (prices are regional). For the average freelancer in Canada, that’s not a consequential barrier to entry. That’s <$1k for a year for everything.
If I charge a rate of something like $40/hr, that’s two hours in a month? <2% of revenue. Am I going to risk spending that much extra time fussing with something else for 2% more $$?
Meanwhile Blender gets a lot of investment because the competition is much more expensive. CA$305/mo for Maya and I need to augment it with an adobe subscription for any non-3D work.
Sure as long as adobe doesn't decide to go back and do the whole "we own the rights to everything ever opened in one of our apps" again lol
Why wouldn't they if they do not want to use them for professional deontology reasons ? What impact size are we talking about ?
