What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help? (lemm.ee)

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

A good example is GIMP being presented as an alternative to Photoshop. It’s not. Not even close.

Krita on the other hand...

Krita rocks! It's amazing if you're a freehand artist. I think the brush engine is better than PS. Krita is also fast and can handle large images with multiple layers with no problems.
