I really wish that Facebook (or anybody with Facebook's resources) help drive adoption of a cross platform tool.

I live in a developing country and access to a Mac is very, very hard. Im not advocating for open source, but the Mac lockin makes this extemely difficult to adopt.

Even with Adobe tools, I can buy a legal windows license and a software license and it still would be many X cheaper than buying a Mac.

Of course, there's nothing like true open source (QtComposer,Inkscape, Blender), but the next best thing is Windows.
