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."

That could be because there was no native GTK port for OSX. Imendio has done a lot of work on integrating it with Macs recently - they removed dependency on X11 (it's using Quartz now), added OSX menubar support etc.
GTK can become more visible on OSX in few years, mainly thanks to Mono.

Most mac users Iv'e known, and artists in particular, seem to hate using gtk apps in osx. It's possible my experiences might not be typical, but for what it is, even a gimp with more features than photoshop wouldn't temp them away as long as it was gtk based.
