On the note of companies just blowing off linux - I've been chatting
with a sales rep at MetroWerks, who make code warrior ( a really nice
IDE )
I asked her if they had unix versions - since the web page didn't have
any info for anything but Mac and Win95/NT. She said sure, Solaris was
in the late beta, and AIX and others might come out after it - I
mentioned linux and she flat said no <shrug>:

I might suggest anyone who is interested in getting more comercial apps
ported to linux drop her a note and mention you would be interested in a
linux port ( assuming they can actualy right portable code - it should
take a few tweaks and a recompile to test things out. Then make up some
binariy packages and your good as gold.
Oh well
