De-Adobeing picks of the day:

(All of these are free open source software)

➡️ @kdenlive - Video editing

➡️ @tenacity - Audio editing, forked from Audacity

➡️ @Krita & @krita_artists & @kritafoundation - Painting software, also suitable for drawing, illustration and 2D animation

➡️ @darktable - Photo organising, processing and development

➡️ @inkscape - Vector drawing

➡️ @[email protected] & @Blender & @blenderartists - 3D animation, 2D animation, special effects for live action and editing

@FediFollows i am *dubious* about only suggesting open source. Of these, inkscape is definitely the most insulting to suggest anyone who uses the stuff enough to pay for it. It is the most confusing and frustrating vector editor I've ever used

It's the same as freecad: the only reason anyone could seriously use it without a major ui rework is if they have no respect for their time. Every single commercial alternative available (incl perpetual licensed) is an order of magnitude less frustrating.

@FediFollows I seriously wish these projects the best and I would be even be willing to put my money where my mouth is and do UI research for them but some of these projects turn people off of the higher quality open source tools.
