Wouldn't you still be able to build your own IDE using the free SDK?
As I understand it a lot of people do this now to avoid having to buy
FB, and I imagine Linux users would be relatively common within that
group.
If sales for a linux version of FB are too low to justify the ongoing
cost of development, you can hardly blame Adobe for that. Their
support for *nix is better than most.

I'll have to get up to speed on Java.
