Edit Reason: added 'one' before 'to work faster........'

I think Espermaschine wants to convey that there is perhaps a level beyond that of masters on the forums - those who use GIMP etc on a professional level.
In his/ her own words 'But it seems those people are not very interested anymore in participating with the crowd, except for making money.' which I tend to agree with completely, based on my experience of using (as a normal user and not tweaking) open source OS like Ubuntu.
Regarding 'I read this to mean that with Adobe products amateurs can do things that look professional', I beg to differ; with my limited experience with PS, I can say with confidence that an amateur can mess up equally with GIMP and PS. Perhaps PS may allow one to work faster and may have more short cuts.
PS: This is the opinion of a rank novice.
