Some interesting points for sure. A couple of things stand out though:
Decent pixel app for *nix? Sure, it's called Pixel, and costs $32. It's far superior to that gimpy excuse for an editor (pun intended).
Pixel is definately better than the GIMP when I tried the trial. However I could never use it properly because Fireworks has loosened my tolerance on using multiple windows when I could be using a cleaner tab interface with an acme editor-like window interface for tools.Decent pixel app for *nix?

At least one professional friend of mine uses Dreamweaver, but he only uses it for layout - all the rest of the CSS and HTML is done by hand. I've adopted a similar technique.WYSIWYG HTML editors are for the llamas. A true web designer can make a website in kedit/nedit/emacs + any graphics editor.
True. If I had something similar to the Debian Package Manager without the need for debian CDs and I could use my selected few packages I have on a backup CD(probably outdated as hell) I'd probably use Linux if I wasn't satisfied with a dual boot with eComStation and Windows.Windows apps have PLENTY of dependencies, don't let the "intelligent" installers fool you. It's just that they have a great way of hiding it most of the time, and often times when you download something, it wll include all the dependencies in the installer itself, creating bloat, since often times you'll already have the required dependency. *nix apps are a bit more verbose in this respect and some distros of Linux have done a decent job of autoacquiring missing dependencies. Still got a ways to go though...
I'm just using an editor that is similar to MS Edit as an example(OW vi is unlike the vi that you have in nearly every unix OS) of what I'd see out of a default CLI unix text editor.And anyone who uses vi is just a dork. Seriously. Get with the now.

{snip}The computing industry would have been much better off without Microsoft.
If you don't like Microsoft, then don't use their products and stfu about it.
Unix is the same way - GREAT! I can get a free OS. Oh wait, I can't get an image editor with a decent interface or a WYSIWYG HTML editor that doesn't suck? Oh no, now I have to deal with dependancies and the inability to use some of my hardware! Shit, now I have to use ed to fix my system because something like OpenWatcom Vi is just too much of a luxury for an uber 1337 OS. Now I have to wade through man pages to fix a simple problem I could have avoided in windows. XP.

You cant be serious.
M$ is great software company with great and innovated products what are created by the greatest professional programmers there is.
Now, shame your words and go your local computer shop, buy latest, most expensive computer and that great Microsoft product Vista and use it, since it's the only real operating system there is. A true American gift from the greatest and most genious programmers of holy nation, USA.
Not so long ago, when this site was new, Shelly and I published an article called “Linux, a European Threat to our Computers“. It seems that the Good Lord was guiding our hands, because shortly after we published a very famous and influential Texan Congressman from the House Appropriations Committee read our research and decided to act upon it. As a result, a number of Federal Linux pork-barrel projects were told to buy American or risk having their budgets cut. Lets just say, that this year a number of important faith-based projects recieved some unexpected bonuses.
I dont personally hate Americans, but time to time they are damn good comedians. (they wanted it or not)

My laptop has a 600mhz processor with 256 ram and a 512mb swap partition. On a 1.6ghz computer with 512 ram and 512 swap running Gnome, Scite, Xchat, and FireFox, I get the following image.
I think that on a 600 megahertz laptop with XFCE4 on it, I can run the same. Plus, I have a TV in my direct vision then
Anyway, I got sick of Windows 98SE compatibility, updates, and all that stuff, and it was way too slow to run Windows 2000/XP. I just upgraded from 128mb of ram this summer. I never used it, then I discovered that linux actually supported and helped old computers be useful again.
Take that, VISTA! HA!
Nathan1993 now waits for the flame war that will probably follow.
