Whoa, that's completely unfair. In fact, wherever it's possible (like on independent projects), I work with alternative software. Not to protest Adobe, but because I just think there's better software out there. Some of it is open source. All of it is significantly cheaper, loads faster, and has less bugs.

However, design involving collaborators, vendors, and professional output often requires standardizing on Adobe software. I'm not happy about it, but it's where the industry currently happens to be. Don't confuse honest pragmatism with some form of stubborn laziness.
