I think you’re forgetting the power of consumers. At work you might not be able to replace Photoshop or Microsoft but at home you certainly can. The more people that become familiar with alternative software the more likely professional environments are to adopt it.
Why would a company want to pay Adobe or Microsoft if their employees are more adept with free alternatives? Especially if those alternatives gain feature parity with the paid services while the paid services lock parts behind paywalls and subscriptions.
Adobe has a Print Production feature where you can run a Preflight Analysis that identifies all the elements in the PDF. I haven’t been able to find a similar feature elsewhere. I’d love to get off Adobe, but that one feature is pretty critical for my workflow.
Agreed. I’ve been using Krita quite a bit lately and honestly, it’s really good. I haven’t used an Adobe product for a few years, but it’s been able to do everything I want it to do so far.

Don’t let perfect get in the way of good!
