It is lame because a company like Google should be able to provide a Linux version of its perfectly serviceable photo organization and basic editing app. I know they don't have to do what I want them to do, but "pfft...", y'know?

Commitment to excellence.

I disagree that Linux as a supported platform is a significant indicator of excellence.

Support for all three platforms is a requirement for me (and most other developers I know) these days, it's one of the reasons why I haven't bought various standard tools including Photoshop... yet use Filezilla, Gimp, Sublime Text 2, Firefox, Thunderbird, Open Office, Clementine, etc.

Holy crap, Clementine is on Windows and I didn't even know it. In case anyone else needs it - http://clementine-player.googlecode.com/files/ClementineSetu...

For dev tools, maybe. Personal photo apps? Let's be realistic here, developers are a tiny, tiny portion of the target market.

IIRC it ran through Wine, it wasn't really supported or excellent to begin with.
