+# 🎨 The Designer Stack
+
+**Ditch Creative Cloud.** Professional design tools that rival Adobe — from UI/UX prototyping to photo editing and digital art.
+
+| What | Tool | Replaces |
+|---|---|---|
+| UI/UX Design | [Penpot](/deploy/penpot) | Figma ($15/mo) |
+| Photo Editing | [GIMP](/deploy/gimp) | Photoshop ($22/mo) |
+| Digital Art | [Krita](/deploy/krita) | Procreate / Illustrator ($22/mo) |
+| Knowledge Base | [AppFlowy](/deploy/appflowy) | Notion ($10/mo) |
+
+**Total saved: ~$110/mo**
+
+## The Honest Take
+
+Let's be real: these tools don't have feature parity with Adobe. But for 90% of design work — UI mockups, web design, photo editing, illustrations — they're more than enough. And the gap closes every month.
+
+**Where they shine:**
+- Penpot is genuinely better than Figma for developers (SVG-native, CSS grid support)
+- GIMP handles 95% of what Photoshop does
+- Krita is beloved by digital artists — many prefer it over paid alternatives
+
+**Where they struggle:**
+- Video editing (no open source premiere replacement yet)
+- Print design workflows (InDesign still wins here)
