But it isn't, Raphael. I need nearly all the components of Adobe Creative
Suite in my professional work nearly every day. That means Windows or
Mac. The alternatives on Linux are simply not professionally viable
solutions, in any way, shape, or form. I also need Quark, Fontlab,
and a host of other programs that are only available on the big 2. Why
aren't these great professional suites being ported to or written
for Linux? And as for Libre Office, the best thing about it is that it
makes you appreciate MSOffice 2010/11/13. Oh sure, if I had nothing else,
I could do some work on Linux. But it would take me three times as long
and the files would not be exchangeable in the real world. Linux is great
but for a vast number of professional users it is not viable. Otherwise I
would be on it. I love it!
