one of the least discussed or researched is probably how useable
products that work on other operating systems is to linux users.

another way to say that is this:
what about how usable photoshop is for someone who knows only TheGIMP?

TheGIMP is not photoshop.  it was written so that linux people would not
not have to use a different operating system and/or steal.

you make gimp race on a playing field it never was meant to be on and i
dont see anyone testing the competitor on TheGIMP's home field.

what would the point of such a race be?
