Adobe Photoshop. Gimp is not quite there yet and has a long way to go.

Used Photoshop years ago. After using GIMP these last few years...
Photoshop for what???

My wish list is growing.. I would like to have WinWall work in Ubuntu, without the need to add a Windows compatible program ("Wine"), which essentially opens-up Linux to Windows "baddies, bullies, and bugs"... I Need Ubuntu to place its background desktop pix default at the far right of the screen, so I can have trigger-pix showing as I create on a roll in SeaMonkey Compose.. Plus it would be nice if Ubuntu's desktop had the features WinWall has... I tried an install of WinWall with Wine in Ubuntu 810.. It totally killed the OS with a sudden barrage of weird and funny glitches...

I would like to have a tiny invisible "stick-em window" following a metallic sword-cursor around, with a full customized tool-box of right-click features...

I wish I could stretch icons in File...

Gimp seems to have features that would almost remove a chunk of pix, and relocate it, sampler-adding speculative background to fill-in the surrounding area of the pix with what the program thinks it should be by imitating the pix's surroundings in the area the chunk was removed, relocated to, or added... Just a little more program writing should do it, but it will take deep-thinking...

I notice that some programs seem to learn... Wouldn't it be nice if writers collected all the programs that learn, and came-up with basic softwares that really do learn... For example: Maya can determine the whereabouts of all the fragment particles of an explosion... The inverse image of that is "War".. in how we process petty-hates, in creating each our tiny pieces of war, which eventually will all combine into one huge dysfunctional global-war against innocent herbal-using peoples... We needs an inversed Maya...

I wish I could get SeaMonkey, in Ubuntu, to see the Captcha codes in blog and forum registration logins... It would be oh so nice to be able to get into those blogs and threads with my high-powered letters, without needing to jump to a demon Windows-computer... (If I run on the Net with a Windows PC, the hate monger crazies kill the OS in less than a week, right through the router and hundreds of dollars of so-called state of the art (garbage) security-software... Me thinks Windows was built-on a faulty-base, and they knew it.. It's just that they didn't have anything else to go with, so they built Windows "on a filthy toilet-seat"... Me thinks "Windows" was a poor choice for its theme title, when it should have been something like "potty" or "demon", or "potty-demon".. That's it! "XP potty-demon", Vista potty-demon", and "PottyDemon 7".. "MicroPotty" or "Loo-dowes"...
Anyway, Microslop goes bankrupt in 14-years/one month, and counting down..) oops! I do so ramble-on.. sorry, but I'm bored stiff here without anybody to talk with who has a functional mind... Are there any people on earth who have functional minds, and are into chatting about advanced sorcery, and actually Know something about something..? I've read that there are "psychic softwares".. They have Got to be kidding!..

how about a software supporting tablet / digital pen, lot of head ache getting my USB iBall pen working. Ineed it for certain graphical tools.

SeaMonkey is available for Linux: http://download.mozilla.org/?product...nux&lang=en-US

Or do you mean that it doesn't do what you want it to do? I'm not sure what precisely you meant there.

Drapes will do the same thing as WinWall with regards to changing desktop backgrounds periodically/on-click.

Not really sure what else you're using it for - but I suspect if you poke around you'll find it.

Hi Jeremy.
I'm wondering if we need to change tactics with this quest.
Clearly there are many people willing to purchase software from software vendors for Linux.
Could we have a vote page to show how popular their applications would be.
The reasoning behind this is marketing information powerful motivator.

That's a very good point. I buy lots of linux software (mostly enterprise stuff), but it would certainly be nice to see what some of these "missing apps" would be worth.

I know that this is not a huge area of computing but I enjoy many CNC (computer Numerical Control) related apps that are MS Windows apps. I've used a number of them, most of them free of charge but I have not yet found one that is a Linux one. A pity because as a CNC Programmer that is the only reason why I need to keep my Win XP box.

Never the less this is fertile ground for Linux. Practical tools for engineering are a bit thin on the ground. There are CAD tools around but I'm not sure if they extend to CNC operations.

I would really love if itunes was ported over because I have the iphone. I have to keep all my music and apps on my parent's computer, and I am not jailbreaking my phone!

try gpixpod for images, rhythmbox with libipod-cil, libipodui-cil, or ipodlinux.
runs pretty well

hope it helps

i cant stand itunes! in my opinion its one of the perks of being a linux user. Personal preference of course but banshee seemed to do most of the itunes work and gtkpod is pretty good too. this is ofcourse no good though if you buy tracks from itunes :/

I think I answered this point some time ago!!! I've shelled out good money to buy a copy of WordPerfect X4 for Window$, and I would happily do the same again tomorrow if I could get a version I could run on a Linux machine.

Same here, for the old Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet!

i am a electronic circuit designer and frequently need micro controller programming,i use proton,rkit,expresspcb,protus as a must tool,suggest linux alternatives please
