I've been using *nix variants for 20 years or so, and they're still a long way from being a serious contender in the desktop design market, especially since the demise of SGI (Silicon Graphics).

Although I admire the OS movement, the GIMP, is just *horrible* to use as a serious design tool -on any platform. The only time I resort to it, is if I'm somewhere unfamiliar, where I have to make a simple change to some artwork (e.g. cropping an image) and it's the only available choice at the time.

Forcing people to use sudo is actually a smart design choice, especially if they're aiming at the mass market. I agree about vi / vim though.
