i couldn't agree more. Having worked in publishing for near-on 20 years, there is no equivlent to photoshop for *nix. GIMP definatly has potential, for the www it's near perfect, but for publishing... It has a ways to go.
Until GIMP can correctly support seps (CMYK Seperations) and pantone color, there is no hope for in the industy.
Illustration has a way to go as well, killustrator and sketch are both fine programs, but both lack the needed features for professional work.
also, without a decent layout program (don't even think tex!) such as quark, pagemaker, or indesign the publishing industry won't make the move either.
If there are any developers reading this... Have at, these are all needed applications, and i can't write a line of code to save my life (maybe a touch of python but...)
