LiteStep did a lot for me, it was my first FOSS application until I
stumbled upon it had no idea anything like this existed. The community
taught me about sharing the wealth (giving back themes I had made),
Learn not to be afraid of editing configuration files. In short LS did
prepare me for the move to linux were the things I learned applied to
the whole system not just few programs. I love being able to modify my
system in anyway I can imagine and/or code. Secondly why would we use
a product that requires us to purchase/use another product in order
for the first product we purchased to work as advertised?

I can't speak for all of us but I for one would not be coming back for
the above reasons. I still love the LS community and I'm not leaving
it but not much could bring me back to windows at this point. I'll
still have to use it at work though.
