I agree that learning a new design application can be done, and is even a worthwhile activity. However, I don’t think that knowing a software suite equates to being good at design.
Knowing the tools is a part of the package, yes, but there is more to design than knowing how to use the software. A designer with an eye for aesthetics and an understanding of both your product and your target users can be a very valuable asset.
