I don't see linux apps for much of the work I do. Its great for what it is, but say you need to edit video... tsol for real quality NLEs. I often see ppl say linux is ok for CAD, I checked into that for a project and it was no go either.

The gimp is nice, but its NOT photoshop. For most new users it will do many of the same things... for me, its not worth my time to learn a new app- plus most tutorials and new tricks you learn will be from ppl who use photoshop.

OTOH, linux makes a nice server. Shell scripting is sweet. There are things linux excels at, but for me its not a viable workstation.
