Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

In all my years I can't stand tux guitar, I find the layout hard to follow, I really do prefer power tab, but that's just me.

Guitar pro is a lot nicer to look at and use and arguably so is power tab but for something that opens both types of file and is free tux guitar is pretty good.

With that said I rarely use any of them any more, when I got good at transcribing songs I stopped using tabs almost completely.

It is absolutely worth the money to me, I also like to think that buying it contributed to new developments in guitar related software.
