I never quite liked these arguments.  The question to ask is, "What can 
I use for graphics editing on platform X?  What can I use for desktop 
publishing on platform Y?".  Otherwise, it's like saying, "Explain how 
I can get a Ford from Chevrolet?"

Not everyone absolutely needs Photoshop to edit their family Xmas 
digicam pictures.
