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.

You should check out Pinta then, I find it easier to use than Paint.net, yet reasonably feature-packed (obviously nowhere near GIMP/Photoshop).

Thanks for reminding me that Pinta exists. :D I remember not enjoying it as much as paint dot net, but I'm a dirty Linux user so if I ever need to do some photo work I might give it a shot instead of fumbling around on GIMP forever.
