I would not necessarily blame the company. There are several programs that I use on Windows, "Roboform" as one example. I have contacted the company and was informed that producing a version that would work on all versions of *nix was beyond the scope of what they could presently do. In addition, they felt that since most OSS users do not want to pay for software, there would be no way to recuperate their investment. I have the full blown version of Photoshop and quite frankly I have not seen anything from the OSS community that compares to it. The program works and has a very finely designed interface. Gimp is fine for basic things; however for more finely granular work it just does not measure up.
