i hope that project air would bring a lot of cool news about adobe stuff in the near future, like a 64bit flash plugin and an ability to write apps that work with its software.

allaroundautomations' pl/sql developer - a must have tool for anybody using oracle databases in production environment (opensource alternative tORA is ok, but it has a different approach to the task and lacks some features).
oh and most likely adobe's flash development suite. it might work on wine, or not but linux really lacks some of adobe's flagship products.

I vote for VirtualDub, as implied here:
(5) Compile a C,C++,Java,Fortran cross-compiler for Windows.
This compiler runs on a Windows box. It compiles Windows source code and the resulting binaries will run unaltered on Linux. Ever wanted to compile VirtualDub so that it runs on Linux? This avoids having to port the source code.
Code:cd /gcc/binutils-win32-linux /gcc/binutils-2.18.50/configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \ --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/mingw make make install
Code:cd /gcc/gcc-win32-linux /gcc/gcc-4.2.3/configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \ --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,java \ --disable-libgomp \ --prefix=/mingw make make install

I'd like to see some more/better guitar effect apps ported over to Linux as I play bass and need some crazy effects from time to time. I don't care for any specific one whether its Guitar Rig or whatever. Guitar Rig has a mac port so it couldn't be hard for Native Instruments to get it on Linux. I refuse to run it in Wine too because I don't get native asio that way unfortunately.
The second thing I'd like to see is some more games obviously. And then the third one, hmm.. I don't really need anything other than that.Last edited by Malikith; 13 May 2008, 01:16 AM.

I think the most important things lacking in Linux at the moment, besides the obvious (big-name games) are the little yet pervasive apps that everyone uses:
1. Messengers -- Skype is in a very unstable shape with limited features, Yahoo and MSN are completely missing, while Pidgin and Kopete are valiant efforts but lack the important features like voice and webcam.
2. Total Commander -- it is THE best file manager out there, and unfortunately Krusader and Gnome-commander don't even come close (they are clunky, unstable and ugly). MC is better but console-only unfortunately.
3. IrfanView -- yes, we have a plethora of various image viewers, but they are unstable, featureless, and slow as hell. The fact that I prefer running IrfanView in Wine to any ot the native ones says it all.
Frankly, if these three areas were covered 100% in Linux (the way playing videos is, with three excellent apps in MPlayer, VNC and Xine) then we could say that Linux is "ready" for mass adoption. As it stands now, people who are used to Win* need to adapt and compromise in order to make the switch -- sure, it's possible, but they'll always feel something is "missing".
