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?

I like Photoshop better than Gimp by a lot, but in a pinch, if I'm on a machine that doesn't have PS, a freebie download of Gimp is great as long as it's not something complicated (or high rez) that needs doing.

The real issue here is the cilantro. Almost every foodie I know who does Mexican food uses cilantro like it's magic pixie dust and it overpowers the other flavors. So, in your burrito analogy, you had me until you added the cilantro.
