It's all perspective I guess. I would never use all the "artsy" programs so they have no value to me. Where as I would imagine they are great for people into that stuff. I use all the MS Office stuff for business. Do Macs come with that?
FWIW, anytime I've wanted an editing/photo/blah b;ah type software I just goto shareware.com and it's mine
you can't exactly do that with Quickbooks or Excel or Word. In business people expect you to use these standards so you must.
