fusion 360,

Onshape, with extra advantages like seamless collaboration (like that of Google sheets)

Adobe suite

Darktable - Lightroom replacement, Gimp - Photoshop replacement, kdenlive - premiere replacement, but I get that you will have to relearn all these all over again (worth it tho, as no monthlys ever again)

    GIMP is not a Photoshop replacement except for pretty basic stuff. There’s no content aware fill, fewer non-destructive edit options, wonky compatibility with PSD files, etc.

    Darktable also isn’t a real replacement for a lot of use cases. Lightroom (the non-Classic version) has pretty great cloud syncing and multi-platform apps, so you can do some work on a desktop and then move to a tablet/smartphone or vice-versa. Darktable doesn’t have that kind of flexibility.

    People always talk about how Linux is just as good or better because of the FOSS apps but in the work world it doesn’t matter if my coworkers and partners are using Office to collaborate, etc. (and where it is A LOT better than a standalone free app).
