musicians had an incentive, because for musicians, collaboratation, sharing and performing together is in the blood...
Right, so hopefully my analogy works here. And graphics folks have to collaborate too. I can't tell you how many times I'm asked to deliver an adobe format for someone to continue to use the assets for various other things, such as taking a graphic I did and using it in an animation/video.

It's quite frustrating. I hate adobe's workflow for all of their software. It's like being a piano player and everyone I'm forced to be in a band with wants me to be a drummer. I can drum, but I'm a friggin' piano player.
