I do audio and Photoshop, so it’s a no go for me.

Gimp 2.2 is better than Photoshop and I like it better than Creative Suite (huge resource hog because of "bridge").

If you are a happy Windows user and work with graphics, do not overlook opensource software. For batch processing of images Imagemagick is amazing. I used it to create and maintain web images for years. At one point I did this for about 80,000 items.

Yes, there are a few holes in applications available. Largely CAD and publishing programs like Quark. Although Scribus is making great headway and is also available for Windows.

I have used Linux for over 10 years and love it.
