Do we really "need Photoshop" on the Linux desktop?
Whenever the talk comes to Desktop Linux and why it has not had the success people predicted this year you'll hear the "Photoshop Myth": "I would love to switch to Linux but I really need Photoshop."
That has spawned buttloads of people thinking about how that could happen so Linux gets all those new users who'd switch operating systems in a heartbeat and everything would be oh so much better. But to be honest, the whole discussion is moot and doesn't lead anywhere. That is never gonna be a reasonable economic approach.
But let us look at the people claiming that they need Photoshop on Linux and they'd switch. From my experience those people often don't really use the power of Photoshop, it's just the tool they use for rather simple tasks.
