Software List (comments in dutch)

For the gfx-art-design subforum on games.telenet i once created a list with related software i've come across in the recent years. Thought i'd share the list with all of you in here as well. The text written under each new title explaining what that sublist of software does is written at a "beginner-level" (and in dutch) so just skip that part if you're an intermediate/advanced user.

Tip: you can click the company-name in front of each summation-line to goto the product page of that company.
