We do need a safe layer for non-engineers to customize apps. All these clones of Photoshop and similar tools are mostly dead ends, they are experiments to see if you can do it, but there will be a consolidation around regularly maintained and powerful and complete apps that likely also offer support. These experiments are dead-ends for the most part long-term. Fun play things, but they will not gain significantly user bases. | ||

Isn't this more of an argument to use common OSS choices? Like, encourage people to use Blender for 3d modelling; LibreOffice for documents; Gimp, Krita, or one of the many other art programs for ... art; OBS for simple video stuff; and so on and so forth? | ||

> We do need a safe layer for non-engineers to customize apps. Why? Every time someone cripples software in the name of safety it just gets replaced with more capable software that isn't. | ||
