I don't see how, can you elaborate?

As a weh developer, I need photoshop, thus I'm stuck with either a Mac or Windows system.

I'd much prefer to drop the VM's and go full Linux. I can't. Because of Photoshop.

Totally agree with you. I would just use Linux if I could run Illustrator with out any special setup on Linux. Instead I have a MacBook Pro.

I think you two are a minority, that is why Adobe doesn't care.

Most programmers aren't artists/designers.

This has nothing to do about programmers.

Artists/designers have two choices today to use Photoshop - windows or mac. In third world countries, buying either is quite expensive. You get a whole range of laptops/desktops in Asia with Ubuntu installed (including Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.). It would be really cool to open it up to the Adobe ecosystem.

Even if third world countries represent a meaningful fraction of artists and designers, thinking that they actually buy software is not realistic. Their piracy percentages are >90%. Why do you think Adobe is switching to a network model.
