But i think that if inkscape looks or works more similar to the softwares that works under windog : ) more designer would be willing to emigrate.
Sure… Different softwares don't have the same story, they don't follow the same ways. Inkscape may have focused on some needs that other vector softwares didn't consider, and that's also true in the other direction.
normally people say me: /*No, I already use Adobe, and it was hard to learn, imagine you to start over from scratch.*/
I think it's a strange answer… Don't you have some theoric knowledge which has nothing to do with the softwares, as well as many software things you learned on proprietary softs you'll reuse on Inkscape? Yes, switching implies learning and a bit more work at the beginning, but not so much I think, and it is worth the switching, especially when you are a teacher.
Using FLOSS is not only a matter of ‘not to fear licenses and all’ but also everything which comes with FLOSS. As an example, if you donate to the Inkscape project, the impact on the software will just be at least a hundred times more interesting than it would if you paid the same amount to Adobe for their software. With Inkscape, you're with a friendly and responsible community (yes, to me, Adobe isn't responsible — :)). You can quite easily get the software change the way you want (if there are good reasons) by interacting the community, whereas it's much more difficult with Adobe. Well… I don't want to launch a debate here about how much proprietary software is a horrible thing to me as are scandals such as tax evasion; just read something radical like Richard's speeches on http://www.gnu.org/philosophy and you may understand. All this might help you convince your colleagues about using FLOSS.
I think most people here, if not all, have tried to make people around them using FLOSS. I'm also trying with the Bépo keyboard layout (a Dvorak-style keyboard layout for French, which is much more ergonomic than Azerty and offers more characters), and it's a hard task — :). But sometimes friends do switch. And the good thing is, when you're using Bépo, you never go back to Azerty; the same with FLOSS against proprietary.
Thanks for all input and ideas.
