I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

Also, superior depends on the user and use case. One person might find that GIMP has all the tools they actually use in Photoshop, and another might find that the ones they use are missing from GIMP. Without knowing the audience, it's hard to know what they want to hear.
