This company makes the world greatest editor but they are completely out of touch with the Linux market place.
Big companies with big money are porting their product line to Linux daily. Companies like Cisco and IBM are making Linux there base operating system for their new products. There are armies of corporate programmers working with Linux now.
Case in point is Cisco's purchase of CallManager from a startup that ran on windows. Its a VOIP softswitch type of product.
Cisco ported the product to Linux to get the 4-5x performance boost by getting rid of windows and the fact that its free/less suceptible to viruses.. was also a big factor. This fits the 'appliance' model thats all the rage.
The idea that the entire Linux community is just a bunch of techie freeware guys is way out of date. Big companies are used to buying editors for software developers they pay big buck for.
Someone will fill this need and make the big bucks...
