That doesn't come as any surprise to me. Photoshop has long topped the
list of most wanted proprietary programs on Linux users' wish list.
You may be wondering why this is so since Linux already has GIMP (Gnu
Image Manipulation Program), which is also a very strong image editing
program.
There are several reasons. The first is that Photoshop users tend to
be Photoshop users first and foremost: the operating system is
secondary. Another reason is that there's an entire software
eco-system of Photoshop add-on programs that serious Photoshop users
expect to have at their beck and call. Last but not least, there are
major differences between Photoshop's MDI (Multiple Document
Interface) and GIMP's SDI (Single Document Interface). While GIMP will
add support for SDI in GIMP 2.8, in the meantime, moving from
Photoshop to GIMP as your primary image-editing platform is very
difficult.
Well; there are a number of answers to that one:
1. Adaptability is a tremendous skill.
2. I find that where GIMP falls short, SUMO is now filling the gaps:

3. Inkscape does rather a good job re vector graphics.
Or, put it another way; even if I had the largish sum of money to buy
Adobe Creative Suite, I am not convinced
that its is THAT much better than supra!
