Adam,
I think Ludivic concerns are not in the tool itself but the data. I was
a Windows user, I want to use the best tool to do the job (being free or
propietary - I paid for Lightroom as there is no equivalent in the Open
Source domain at the moment). As I said no problem.
But when I have the choice I won't be using a tool that also makes all
my data proprietary. The data are mine, why should I pay year after year
to be able to use them? I've spent hours on typing guitar partitions,
the tools is not there anymore, I've lost everything (true story), I had
made many documents using Word hopefully there is some free tool to read
this format otherwise I would have lost everything too. Likewise with
Excel, I've also lost genealogy work done on a proprietary tool... I
won't even try to count how many hours I've lost with all those tools :(
Let's take Lightroom that I'm using at the moment. The data to develop
the photos are so tied to Lightroom that I will probably have to keep
Lightroom forever :( I know but today I have no choice, it is a shame
but I need to get the job done...
So all in all I fully agree with Ludovic, be sure to use, whenever it is
possible, free and standard formats.
Pascal.
