So do I. I consider it a completely different software experience, altogether.

And I won’t say it’s unwelcoming, but to me, it’s overwhelming. From the first page of whatever software you’re looking at, everybody’s speaking a different language. They all seem to know what they’re talking about & they’re all set.

That’s fine, it’s just where the fun ends for me.
