What programs would you like to see ported to Linux?

CorelDraw was available for Linux sometimes, when Corel was part of WordPerfect. Not anymore. I have found Inkscape. Some people say Inkscape offers less options and features. Don't know, I stopped using CorelDraw after version 7. Inkscape is comparable to Corel 7. But it offers much more, like XML editing and command line exporting of objects. I even managed to write scripts to generate XML animatiion directly, in conjuction with Inkscape.

Tax software, yes.
I don't think windows has useful landscaping software, other than a spreadsheet. I'd be guessing whether macs ever had useful landscaping programs.
I tried SweetHome3d (on windows), but it doesn't seem to have much value. Sketchup with Dynamic Component cabinets and export to renderer, seems better.

VMWare vSphere client.
It sucks having to use Citrix or a Windows VM on my Red Hat workstation just to manage the dang vSphere environment.

I would definately agree that it would be nice to see Photoshop on here, but as my other post shows

It's a huge struggle to do computer modeling and CAD using Linux. I actually have a friend who is interested in creating a program like Solidworks for Linux, but I don't think he has time to complete it. Rhino is more like 3D Studio (which is used for game and movie characters) than Solidworks or Inventor.
Other great options would be Revit or even just basic Autocad

I hear you. Have you tried vEMan, though? http://sourceforge.net/projects/veman/

We run ESXi here and find the remote control in vSphere to be [bloody] awful, so we tend to RDP or VNC to the guests directly depending on their OS, not needing to do a lot of provisioning management through vSphere itself.

For "basic" AutoCAD you can try the commercial BricsCAD - they've got a native Linux vesion. It's a full featured 3D clone of AutoCAD, but without some of the newest features like Dynamic Blocks, Geometric Constraints, Dynamic Arrays, etc. I'd say it's like an AutoCAD from around 5 to 10 years ago. Though it's cheaper than the LT version of ACad (which IMO is a waste of time, not to mention much less than BricsCAD offers). It also works natively with normal acad DWG files (even the latest 2012 version of these files). For me though, I've been using those advanced features too much and it would make my work a whole lot less efficient to go back to doing it the old way in BricsCAD.

As for 3dStudio / Revit / SolidWorks ... great big plus from me! I think I've posted in this thread about those several times over! Or even just if Google can pull their finger out and make a Linux version of SketchUp I'd be willing to pay for that!

Ham Radio Deluxe would be great to port to Linux.

Hi all,
I come back. I registered my account from 2004 year, and use Linux 6.3 Red Hat Linux to fedora Code2.
Now I have time to discuss with you all.
