Not in this case, because many of these applications must produce files
that I can share with others, and/or they must work with legacy files
that I've collected myself, and/or they must read files provided to me
by others.  So equivalent functionality isn't good enough: it has to be
the same application.

Neither do I.  But I do a lot of other editing.  And the average family
user is better off using a turnkey commodity OS like Windows than trying
to install something like UNIX.
