I believe Adobe prefer people illegally downloading their programs rather than have people use competitors
Probably. On the other hand, I don't care what Adobe prefers. Free software (not just the no money part, but the freedom part; some prefer to call it Open Source) is better than their stuff, because it gives me the freedom to do whatever I want with it. And if I don't like something, I can change it or have someone else change it for me. But I rarely have to do that, because someone else usually already did that.
The idea that software that costs money must be better is incorrect. Your statement suggests that everyone would of course want to use Adobe products if only they were allowed to. And that you're doing them a favor by using it illegally. That last part I agree with; they're not getting a sale from you anyway, but a user is better than nothing for them. So why would you want to do them any favors? I prefer to use better software and stay away from them.
So what do I use? For 3-D, Blender. For 2-D, usually Inkscape, which is vector based. If I really need pixels (which is rarely the case, but for Dink it is), I use Gimp. Krita is supposed to be pretty good as well; I haven't looked at that yet, so I don't know how it compares to Gimp.
