Here's another thing - most of these complaints seem to have to do with laptop users. It's an economic tradeoff: We either get a balkanized system where for certain kinds or types of apps we need a particular machine for the native implementation, or we have the case of these larger cross-platform apps that anyone can use on any system, in the same manner everywhere. and let's be honest: Not many companies out there are going to develop a native version of the same app for all the platforms, because most platforms have a lower number of users than others (in many cases, much lower - depending on the genre of the app in question - like games). Or, I have to remember the quirks for each native implementation. So now I have to learn and use potentially three or more different programs/apps/whatever to do the same task.
Now - I know there are a ton of other options for Linux, but the thing is, I can't jump from system to system and have the same app with the same experience - even if the app was developed as a native app for all of the platforms, because each has a slightly different native GUI implementation and usage which doesn't translate fully between each. But - can I get a copy of Notepad++ on my Linux box? No?
