What programs would you like to see ported to Linux?

Software to port to linux?

Photoshop!!!

GIMP is also wonderful, but photoshop supports (more) bunches of amazing effects and blending options. It also provides real-time previews (which GIMP often can't do). Also, the interface is also more intuitive-to-use than that one in GIMP's.

I really miss the 'blending options' and its filters (and plugins), though

Next after photoshop would be Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge (but I think that audacity is quite a replacement for an amateur like me...

)

An excellent post!!
What does Nero offer that k3b doesn't?
Where there is a Linux equivalent to a windows program, the missing features in the Linex program would be more helpful for this thread than just posting a wish list or should this be a separate thread?

There are only 2 apps I still use Windows for.

That is all.

Why don't you suggest to the Trillian creaters to switch to cross-platform?

I'm at the point where I won't purchase a product unless it has the ability to work with Mac, and / or Linux systems.

DataPilot supports my phone on Mac; it does not, however (in my experience), run under Wine or Crossover Office.

TaxCut and TurboTax would also be nice to see running natively under Linux.

I would be happy to pay the normal retail price - even to the extent of waiving the rebate on the electronic filing fee - for Linux versions.
