It is impossible for any serious Designer/Front end ppl in general to go to Linux, unfortunately, as much as i want to strangle Adobe (can't wait for Pixelmator to mature a bit more), we rely on Photoshop and Illustrator too munch.

And GIMP is not a viable alternative.

Just a note; Illustrator does have some alternatives...

But Photoshop is still irreplaceable.

Can you suggest a good Illustrator alternative for Linux? I've tried a few and was never satisfied largely because the GUIs were very difficult to use. Perhaps I tried the wrong ones!

There is Inkscape, but honestly... There isn't anything i like.

Very few "front end" types in the Linux community.

Tell the vendor that you want a Linux version and will walk away otherwise.
