Morning.
I have been working with design for over 10 years now using only OpenSource Tools. I've worked at a Linux Education Institute where we had to develop courses and marketing (web, printed and for tv); and never had a problem. I also worked for my country's (.ve) and Guatemala's government (again, only OpenSource tools) and right now I'm building my personal business as a photographer (again, editing only with OpenSource).
I have seen people who do fantastic things using Non-Open tools, but I have also seen some terrible mistakes. For me, a professional designer is not about the tool, but more about the eye of the user who can put his/hers ideas on paper/screen.
Have a great day.

I disagree with you to some extent. I'd say mostly. Right now I'm doing the JavaME service access point (fancy name for app) for a County B.I. system for one of the counties here in Kenya. The UI is basically built by code, so the images and icons are more important in this case. Inkscape and Corel helped me get done with the design in a little over 3 days into the development period. They'll launch in two weeks. Inkscape gets things done faster. Lesser adjustments to make and all.
