  From my point of view, GraphicsMagick has better performance, half as
  many dependencies, and way fewer CVE's.  Like ImageMagick, it also gives
  us "free" support for a ton of different image formats, and "free" new
  ones in the future.

Could you explain the significance of the quotation marks?  I hope it
doesn't imply doubt about whether GraphicsMagick is free software.
What is the license of GraphicsMagick?
