You know me by now, I could rattle on for hours and rectify all that stuff you just said, but as I pointed out before, this is just too time consuming, but basically, you both have the same problem when it comes to your outlook on this stuff. Everything you say is based on what was before and the present, but it totally disregards the future and why the future will be shaped by the way things are going. The mass migration to Debian etc will happen when either Apple, Google, or Microsoft fail epically with data protection. This will send the poor helpless commercial OS users running for Debian as fast as their hopeless little legs can carry them.
It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when.
This is survivalist logic and about as plausible. I asked a direct question and your reply was "it would take too much time." Put up or shut up. Grease pencil is not unique or innovative. You're arguing with someone who's probably used Linux longer than you have and in more contexts. I advocate FOSS where it's appropriate but given the number of years Open/LibreOffice has had to overtake MSO, GIMP has had to overtake Photoshop, etc., etc., the onus is on you to show evidence of your predicted sea change occurring any sooner than Jesus' return to Earth. Faith is a good thing but it's conveniently neither disprovable nor measurable in its results.
I can show opposing examples to my point, and why they're exceptions. You're just repeating yourself and saying "it would be too much trouble," while it appears to be no trouble at all to disrupt a thread with your need for attention (the question was about Poser 10, not Windows or OS X).
OS war threads are for adolescents. Contribute more, bloviate less and do not again overestimate your comparative understanding of tech to others in this forum.
