I'm not a designer - purely curious.

GIMP is an icon of open-source software, but do any professional designers use it full-time over Photoshop?

Compare with Sketch, which has taken scores of users from Illustrator.

Off-topic, but would Amazon have anything to lose if they completely purged all reviews by users without verified purchases?

It would certainly combat the spam reviews problem.

It's interesting reading about chip+pin and contactless payments in the US - in Australia 95%+ of transactions are chip+pin, and 70% of that (almost all transactions under $100) are contactless.

The system isn't perfect, and anecdotal stories from LEOs indicate fraud has risen due to the low friction of contactless transactions, but obviously it's not too big a problem for the banks to wear (as all fraudulent contactless transactions are the bank's problem, not the card owner's).

$10k isn't bad.
