The fuss is simple to understand. Although the wine version works (and I'm sure we're thankfully that Google provided it), even the newer 3.6 with the hacked install, there are some artifacts, bad font rendering and bad system integration, virtual wine drives mapping, etc. Hey, don't get me wrong, it works! But it could be much better, user friendly and painless install/ integration with the system. Just like everybody wants Google Chrome native linux and not running it under wine.
And GTK based applications generally work well under all linux distros and desktop environments, if the required GTK libs are installed, at least that's my experience. So it's a natural choice. Google Chrome works well with GTK. So could Picasa, I guess.
