Google is funding work to ensure the Windows version of Adobe Systems' Photoshop and other Creative Suite software can run on Linux computers. "We hired CodeWeavers to make Photoshop CS and CS2 work better under Wine," Dan Kegel, of Google's software engineering team and the Wine 1.0 release manager, said on Google's open-source blog. "Photoshop is one of those applications that desktop Linux users are constantly clamoring for, and we're happy to say they work pretty well now... We look forward to further improvements in this area."

JPEG sharpening is the cause of many issues (as is the compression tool used), at least "in camera". There is far more control over sharpening, contrast, exposure in software, than in camera.
As to sharpening not looking right, that's because you're probably doing it right. Oversharpening is one of the largest causes of an image looking bad, and it's because people don't take the time to learn how to effectively use the sharpening tool.
Photoshop is like anything - you have to *take* the time to learn how to use it. If you do, it'll give you the results. I'm speaking from personal experience here, since I used to HATE Photoshop with a passion, and couldn't understand how to use it. When I went digital, I made myself learn the basics, and I'm so glad that I did.

If they don't need any of these, why bother with a graphic-editor at all? Most amateur photography tools are supported in simple apps like Picassa or iPhoto. Hell, many cameras have built in functions for these tools also.
