    tried if its possible to replace all of your software with opensource a year ago.

    answer: possible for web developers (recommended, too! - if you dont have to deal with assets)
    possible for office too if you really want it and you´re tech savy.

    impossible for designers, gimp and inkscape are the tools to go for but they can never replace the ones adobe makes and they cannot output data the way you are used to do it in spite of color management and data handling. and its almost impossible to work with your exisiting indd´s, psd´s, png´s whatevers..

    so short:
    developers: YES!
    office: when you really want it
    design: NO!
