Comment: Who uses Linux (as a Desktop)?

I am dual booted on my laptop too, but with presently an Ubuntu installation on my X side.
The fact is that since I installed this dual boot I almost never feel the need to boot the Win side. I rather have a tendency to literally forget it... Save, perhaps, when I stock a few images which are expected to be treated through an old release of Photoshop because I handle it better than The Gimp. The graphic performances appears not to me speeder on Windows than on X.
Concerning KDE, I have heard a lot of excellent feedbacks from my friends and I would like to experiment the Konqueror browser too. But at the present hour, as I got the habit of Gnome and as it brings entire satisfaction to me...
There is a Linux soft called Bluefish for both PHP code and all sorts of codes, even html, and CSS if necessary (but I prefer to treat CSS apart through CSSed Editor).
To those tools I add the Firefox Web Developer.

" Finally, neither is as stable or polished as the Mac OSX "

For me, it stays the best for the treatment of all the graphical parts, as Linux is definitely the best for all dev.
WinXP appears useful only to test the dev and be sure that it works too on it. The experimentation of X rendered Windows uncomfortable and unsafe to me.
