Under Windows you are pretty much tied to an IDE, under Linux, I know plenty of people who develop with just a terminal and vim (not me, I'm a PyCharm man).

This ^

I use Visual Studio in Windows because that's what they want to teach us at Uni but once you know how to do things manually the sky's the limit!

It's like saying you NEED Dreamweaver to code websites, when in reality notepad/gedit will do just fine and many, many advanced developers will use things like that because they're lightweight and less finicky.

Definitely. That's not the point though, if it's successful then other developers will at least consider Linux versions for more than a joke.

The difference being Adobe doesn't give a crap about whatever shortcuts the rest of the bloody world uses. (Ctrl+T in the browser plugin should still open a new tab. Ctrl+Z should still be undo. Eugh, annoys me so much when I have to work with Flash)

This. If Steams Source engine is successful and they get a /real/ look at how many Linux gamers there is, then other developers and publishers may start taking Linux more seriously.

Lol, you just need to learn what you're doing in Linux then. Using it for 5 minutes and deciding you don't like it, isn't going to get you anywhere.
