[osflash] Any creative workers here using Linux as main workstation?

[Zárate]

Sadly not as my main working computer but i've been using Ubuntu at
home por a couple of years now and i'm pretty happy with it too. I'm
really not missing Photoshop or Illustrator because with GIMP and
Inkscape i have more than enough, but by all means i'm NOT a designer.

What i really miss is a nice ActionScript IDE for Linux. I don't like
Eclipse (that rules out FDT, Aptana or FlexBuilder) so i either run
FlashDevelop on a VM or use good ol' Scite. I wish Sephiroth brings
SEPY back to life:

Sorry, I digress, I'm not adding much useful here : )

Cheers!

Juan
