Photoshop users are not short-sighted because of your crazy hippie ideals.
They are short-sighted because an objective comparison of Photoshop and The Gimp clearly shows that Photoshop stopped being relevant many versions ago.
Of course, people bitch about the GIMP not being a Photoshop clone, since the momentum gained by the open-source movement in the user interaction design communities helped us, as a culture, to outgrow the need to clone commercial software, freeing us from legacy paradigms that no longer make sense.
Graphic artists need to be more vocal about their embracing the GIMP.
