Replacements For Adobe Creative Suite 3 Apps?

Posted by timothy on from the best-of-luck-to-ye dept.

Gilmoure writes "With rumors of Adobe not supporting Creative Suite 3 applications on Mac OS X 10.6, I was wondering what Open Source apps folks would recommend to replace Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver? If the apps can work with the native file formats, all the better but if they provide the same functionality, that's still good. I have several designer friends that are looking forward to the speed boost of OS X 10.6 but don't want to go through the Adobe upgrades so soon after the CS2 to CS3 upgrades. Especially when Adobe's already working on CS5."

    I understand from the summary that Mac OS-X 10.5 is broken beyond repair and will magically stop working somewhere in the coming months so an OS upgrade is an absolute necessity?
    It's also weird that 10.6 is so incredibly incompatible with 10.5 that the CS3 suite won't work on it. Or does Adobe just claim the obvious that any software developer would also claim; "we developed it for 10.5, we can't guarentee it'll work on 10.6".

    Meanwhile GIMP still sucks ass and nobody uses it.

    It's a challenge to suck when one has a ball-gag in their mouth...
