"Having been raised on DOS and the early generations of Windows, I rediscovered that sense of excitement in a pure computing experience when I first tried other Linux versions over the years. However, they required a steep learning curve and caused too much frustration with setup and obscure command-line options. Not so with Ubuntu Linux."

Photoshop is not a good example of a desktop application since it's aimed at professional users. The only ones that would be using it for typical desktop use would have had a) a lot of money to blow b) committed copy right infringement or c) got an education discount on it because they're in Communications et al. For the typical desktop case of minor photo retouching, GIMP is better than good enough.
As for the lack of support for certain proprietary hardware devices, blame the vendors. Better yet, stop buying hardware from them.
