@oruga >does gimp have feature parity with gimp?
Yes.

Merely because a feature exists doesn't mean it's strictly necessarily and it can't be done without.

>software not being libre doesnt automatically make it objectively evil
Software itself can't be evil, but proprietary software developers using such malware as a yolk of unjust power are always evil.

>just like schools and companies disqualify libre or open source software from their list of candidates because they cant pay for customer support.
Last time I checked there are plenty of companies that are willing to offer support for libre software - after all, anyone can offer support.

Schools and companies don't really need much customer support I reckon, all they really need is one or two semi-comptent computer users that can resolve issues that occur.


Too bad such companies need to be searched for or you need someone actually semi-competent - so governments and schools tend to choose between the offers of criminal organizations like google, microsoft and apple and don't look anyone else.

In my experience, proprietary software companies providing actually useful support is extremely rare.
