Piggybacking on this, a version of After Effects for Linux would allow me to completely switch from Windows. There's a few video editors for Linux to rival things like Premiere but no proper FX/GFX editors with things like particles, audio spectrums, all the nice-to-haves. Once I can create the flashy animation style stuff I regularly create and not just Windows XP Movie Maker-level animations, I'd pay any price and switch to Linux in a heartbeat.
