This just means being paid for work. It's not really a style or something that can be measured. 'Professional' has been used by Adobe to cleave the world into two imagined worlds of the 'unprofessional' by which they mean bad at the work and 'professional' to mean good at the work.
This is nonsense and I think we should avoid using this language.
+1000, and pressing the button like crazy if there is one.

Adobe and other high end tools hijacked the word "professional" and keeo using it in their marketing material, implying that you can only be a professional if you use their tools. If you can get your job done and the result is good enough to get paid, then you're a professional. It's your skills, not the tools you use for the job.
Regarding the rest of the comments:
- The concept of a "suite" is yet another marketing stunt. Adobe, Autodesk, Corel and other big software makers can afford creating "suites" where everything is consistent (well, at least that's the idea. It's not always like that in reality). Free sofware applications are completely different. Different projects use different programming languages, different UI toolkits, etc. and creating a unified suite is not as easy as it sounds. Stop asking for copying what Adobe and others do. It would be far more productive to focus on making free sofware applications interact better rather than expecting a visually uniform "suite" with the same icons, tool naming, UI skin and hotkeys.
