The "almost a rule" part isn't true that often. Photoshop, Avid, Final Cut, InDesign and After Effects are the ones that are not "truly suck[y]" off the top of my head. It's when companies can gouge prices (obscure limited use software) where problems arise; since they are greedy enough to gouge prices, they can cut "efficiency" and "working" form their feature lists.
First props for GNUstep development. It's actually kind of cool.
Second, Linux is slightly bigger than a character map for an obscure OS. You kind of disproved your point by saying only the biggest apps get the attention. While it might not have formal peer reviewing, I'm willing to bet that every line of Linux code has been read by more than a dozen people (excluding the very latest updates possibly).
Most rootkits target *nix. OS X is a Unix variant. But since Macs don't ever get viruses, I'm sure it would be impossible to get past Apple's expert, fully-secure software.
Shouldn't these tools be a part of already-existent anti-virus solutions? Why another application for rootkits if trojans, virii, and spyware detection are (usually) in the same package? It's not like rootkits are new threats.

I'm pretty sure that not even a neurotic anthropomorphized paperclip could have made the rocket do worse.

Hey, anyone want to meet in the park to squirt each other pictures of our families?
