It's a balance. Having market leaders makes the
process simpler, and in turn, those tools enhance
competition. Photoshop is a de facto standard, and it
doesn't have much in the way of competition. If we had
15 tools that did the same thing, it would make it
harder and not easier for graphic designers.
