My brother! Seriously though, Directory Opus is a magnificent tool. Its interface could use a lot of work, but its extensibility isn't matched by anything in the Linux world. I know, I've looked and looked. I couldn't even find a decent open source project I could dive into with the goal of making it as flexible as DOpus. I emailed the DOpus guys and they definitely won't create a Linux port. And as I'm sure you already know, it doesn't play well with Wine. If I were creating a comparable application for Linux I'd make it extensible via Python rather than the custom scripting language they use, and I'd take a good long look at things like Sublime Text for UI cues (how to present a massively customizable and extensible system and maintain a very 'clean' interface). It would be a big project, but if I had the time I would gladly sink those hours into such a thing if only so I could use it at the end...
