"You're trolling and ill-informed."
If 'trolling' these days is speaking your own 100% honest opinion, then yes, I guess I must be trolling. I wasn't aware that you are a troll for having an opinion, though. Learn something new every day.

No shit, I'm pretty sure my first couple sentences made it obvious that I was never a fan of the program, its price, etc. I'll take almost *anything* over that overpriced crap.

Sorry, I did not get that impression, and I felt it was a massive rip-off at twice the price of a fucking Windows licence. Does that make me even more of a troll? Seriously though... operating system, $300... bitmap editor... $650?!

I find it odd how you keep talking as if you're a know-it-all professional and that your opinion is *the* definitive answer, and yet mine is trash. I have to ask you at this point the same question you started off asking me: are you a troll? Your use of "zealots" only makes it seem even more likely... and your entire second paragraph seems to have "troll" stamped all over it.
