      Oh man, that reminds me of the one time I promised a friend to make a poster for an event and my windows lappy died the next day. I had to shoehorn the project into gimp on my tiny netbook.

      It was painful. I’m glad for knowing how to use gimp in a pinch, and it is quite powerful software, but it felt like every tool and setting was in the wrong place after working with PS for so long.

      Also, it goes without saying that designing a full sized poster on a 10" screen is a fools errand.

      to be fair, i actually prefer gimp. but i recognise that different things work for different people, and often it’s not worth learning new software unless it brings significant advantages
