I fear there'd have to be some sort of deal-with-the-devil thing to make that happen. Is getting subscription based desktop software into the Linux ecosystem a good precedent to set? Maybe there are already examples of it but certainly not at the Adobe CS scale. I think Ubuntu could better serve the community by paying talented developers to work on an alternative.

Reinventing the wheel is almost never a better option, especially not when the users are actually happy with the current option.

There is no way to replace Adobe tools easily.

It's definitely worth it to try and get Adobe tools working on Linux.

I'll donate $100 to Canonical if they can convince them to offer a one-time-fee option and I don't even use Adobe products.
