    No you don’t understand… I’ve spent the last 30 years investing in increasingly awful software companies to create “industry standards” and leaving these companies behind would require me to change and learn!!!

      I talked with the women i’m working with where we print our price lists about changing from adobe to something else and she told me it would be a bad idea since it would make both of our work much more buggy and time consuming with more chances of the end result being worse. So i’ll keep using indesing and the adobe suite for now but i did switch from sketchup to blender for 3D modeling and it’s a bit challenging and more messy then i’m used to but i get better rendering results from what i tried so far.

        As long as you can export to the same format, it shouldn’t matter from the print shop’s perspective, no? They just see the same file they would’ve always seen.

      So many issues with the world boils down to that last part, people refusing to change and learn. I never understood it, I’ve always loved change and learning. I’ve seen so many people go from having that same openness to only caring about keeping everything the same and never learning, it’s really disturbing. Some are like that from a very early age, others fall into it at any other part of their lives and it’s never a good thing IMO.

        For me, I’ve got a million interests. I could change and learn this one thing, but that would take time away from learning about other, more personally interesting things.

      Even worse!

      Admitting that I was not always doing the most sensible thing, at all times! That I was actually doing really stupid things, for a long time!

      I … I can’t make mistakes… no … reality is wrong!

      At some point you just have to leave the software behind. That time is now!
