I am a computer novice except to know that I am tired of ADOBE downloads, bloated programs & memory hogging! I checked w/ 3-4 computer guru sources as to alternatives to use to Acrobat & Reader & also asked them the difference in the 2 programs.....no one knew or took the time to help me out - so thanks! I bookmarked your info & emailed it to 3 others. Thanks so very much for this info. I am a computer novice except to know that I am tired of ADOBE downloads, bloated programs & memory hogging!

Makeuseof seems to attract a more thoughtful crowd.... Great idea, and great list.

Firefox, Thunderbird, Burn, etc are worthy alternatives to consider. But time = money and if you're billing your time out to do professional design work, I can't rationalize using many, esp Scribus over InDesign, as a productivity (aka savings) tool. There's a reason applications, like cars, houses, etc have different price points. You usually get what you pay for. I’m all for open source, alternative to commercial or bloatware apps.

Have you developed in both? Actionscript, the programming language behind Flash, is capable of so much I can't even begin to sum it up in a little blog comment. Can Synfig stream media like videos? Can it parse XML? Can it interact with scripting languages like JavaScript or PHP? Can it POST and GET variables? Detect browsers? etc., etc. From video players, to interactive web features found on sites like NYTimes, Flash is hands down superior to Synfig. Does Synfig even support user interaction? Sounds like Synfig would be better compared against something like Maya. As for your other CS substitutes... I have my doubts. Audacity is nice for basic stuff, and I'm guessing that most of them are at best very limited alternatives to the real thing. I'm all about free and open source alternatives, but there's a tremendous difference between a Kia and a Ferrari... same holds true here. If you want to be a developer and compete in the market... you need first class equipment. This is a reference list for hobbyists and beginners. Anyone that wants to take things to the next level will definitely need more powerful apps., though. @Varun- re: Synfig- “You can do much more than you can do with flash“
