I came here to post some concerns I had, but Google Groups brought this thread up as a suggestion, and so I thought I would add to this thread instead of creating a new one.
I will just ad the observation that, 4 years on from OP, that some of the same issues still exist (unless I have missed something, in case please point me to further info, and I will apologize). Primarily for me, the biggest problem seems to be that there is still no Linux version, and furthermore this doesn't appear to be anywhere in the roadmap. I have checked the UserVoice forum, and it doesn't appear to be anywhere near the top in terms of what most people want, and so maybe it will never happen. I dunno maybe there are just not enough people out there like me, or maybe there is some other tool available on Linux that I am not aware of (if so, kindly reply to my post and enlighten me!). I suppose that I just wanted to register my opinion as one more person who has grown disillusioned with Microsoft, especially after the debacle that was Windows 8, and now with the spyware that has been included in Windows 10. And so, I think I am finally at the point where I am going to be willing to finally make the leap to using Linux full time. I suppose I will stay on 7 until it is no longer supported, but I am already dual booting and looking for Linux based alternatives to many of the programs I use. Chiefly among them being MLO of course. With increasing privacy concerns on behalf of many people (especially in a software where you capture your most intimate thoughts, ideas, and plans for the future), I am sure that I cannot be the only person who feels this way. Also I see a huge trend moving toward open source / free/libre software, and Linux in general. Microsoft is even now giving away Windows 10 for free! When you count Android, *nix based operating systems have become the most popular by far. I think the trend is clearly going in that direction, and any business ignores such trends at their own peril. For all of these reasons, perhaps it is time to re-think creating a Linux client? Or even some sort of API or web interface, so that someone else perhaps with more time could create a Linux client? I am not aware of anything remotely close to the capabilities of MLO on Linux (or if one already exists, again please someone point me in a direction!). And due to it's very powerful and flexible nature which appeals to us "geeks" I think you may find a lot of fans on Linux. Please understand that I am posting out of concern and frustration. I have been a long time vocal supporter and purchaser of your products. I have bought Pro versions for PC and Android and have subscribed to sync service for many years. And I have turned many people on to MLO via word of mouth on the internet as well as in person to friends, etc. I have been a huge fan. I am just worried that I may need to part ways at some point here in the mid term future, due to switching to Linux. I don't really want to look for (much less create from scratch) a competing product, but I may be forced in that direction. I understand that some people have gotten MLO working in Linux, maybe I need to go read up on that. But my understanding is that it doesn't work very well in Wine, and that you have to use some other software? Anyway...
