The Mozilla team were also clever enough to realize the importance of making the transition to their software as simple as possible. Certainly, most smaller businesses would likely appreciate the simplifying effect of the open source licensing model.Īs Firefox demonstrates, ingrained habits can be broken when the motivation is compelling enough. When lots of designers are showing their skills with Gimp, employers will naturally call on them. Of these three Gimp issues, the first two are closely linked and can only change over time. I eventually slogged my way through and ended up loving LightWave but I never got very far with Max (yet anyway – I installed GMax last week). I personally remember LightWave and 3D Studio Max being offenders in this area. Reason 3 – The Interface: There’s nothing quite like having the excitement of opening a nifty new application slowly replaced by the feeling of stupidity you get as you begin to realize you can’t fathom the interface. In short, at this time you wouldn’t choose the Gimp as a pure ‘career move’. A similar search for ‘ Photoshop‘ returns a results page saying ‘.more than 1000’. All three bracketed it along side Photoshop skills as a requirement. A quick search on generates a list of three positions requiring knowledge of the Gimp.
Reason 2 – Industry Standards: Let’s face it. Reason 1 – The Irresistable Force of Habit: Whether it’s our breakfast cereal, our OS’s or our dentist, it’s always easiest to stick with what you know, rather than risk the new for an unknown payoff. Why aren’t we all using it? While there are probably three major reasons at the moment, one of those may be just about to disappear in puff of hackery - at least for Mac users. That’s a pretty handy combination by any objective measure, so the question remains.
