It started out as a list for ASCII and textmode art editors but grew to include all kinds of alternative design tools. I've hosted two workshops where the assigment is to create a printed zine without the use of any Adobe software. I give this list to the participants to explore. The scans of these zines and more info can be found here:
I think its crazy that my University (Aalto) pays over a million euros in licencing fees to Adobe every year while the design teachers are chronically overworked and understaffed. My ultimate goal is to persuade the institution to ditch Adobe and switch to FOSS tools, and hire more staff & teachers.
Slanted magazine did an issue recently on digital tools and compiled their own list:

The issue has screenshots of many of them: https://www.slanted.de/product/slanted-magazine-47-digital-t...
This is my list, thanks for sharing!
