[raises hand] I’ve used MatLab instead of Photoshop, I guess.

Seriously though, as an amateur photographer, working on a new engine instead of just adding more gen AI features to every pixel sounds like a good move. I’ll be sticking with my buy-once option, either way.

As a developer I also found this interesting:

Can make steady progress even when a problem is ambiguous or not fully prioritized yet

That’s a super important skill a lot of people don’t even want to develop.

    Better than buy once, try and if you like donate options

    In concept, absolutely, but I tried and didn’t like.

    So you don't lose anything win-win

    Only the time I took to play around with FOSS options, which is fine for a hobby. There are actually really good options out there, they just don’t match my needs.

    True. How much time you invest in "playing around" is your choice. I mostly treat it like a video game demo. I play for a bit and if I enjoy it I'll donate. If I see issues or it doesn't do what I want I don't donate.
