That's what I used, too. Er, use.
Things don't have to be "in competition". Open source photography tools can exist, and so can closed ones. If someone uses an open source application and it works well for them, then that's fine. If you have to use closed source apps that only work on closed source OS's for work, then that's OK too. The fact that there are serious users of each is proof that both are viable options.
