Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

° Gimp 2.X is fine here (Interface has its own phylosophy, its not so bad)

° GFTP is working great here (much faster then FlashFXP for ex.)

° Mplayer plays EVERYTHING here, even .bin-files without repacking/mounting (i hated using ISObuster all the time)

° Scanning with XSANE is a charm! (my Scanner blocked Win totally while scanning -- EPP, no DMA -- on Linux it takes 100% CPU also but i can keep doing anything...)

... many more i wouldn't agree with you. But, I dislike the QT-GUI also ;)
