Mainly because of culture differences.

Good UX/UI people don't bother to pay for their tools, like in most professions, and prefer to work in software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Maya, Poser, you name it instead of constrain themselves to "worse is better" just to feel good.

So in the end, most don't feel the need to join any FOSS community and rather build their portfolio on online design galleries and magazines.

Doesn't Adobe continue to charge big $$$ for Creative Cloud? I don't understand how these statements mesh..


Yes it does.

"Don't bother" as in like most professionals they see a value in paying for their tools and don't mind having to pay them.


Just FYI that's basically opposite how the phrase "doesn't bother" is idiomatically used in at least American English.


Thanks for the hint. I am not native English speaker.


You want to say "are not bothered to pay for their tools"
