I think it has been a little over two years for me. I'm pretty happy, too, but I only have to write code. What I miss is a mature haXe IDE, other than that I'm fine. Sugar would be better graphics support -- embedding PNGs is no problem obviously, and Swfmill's SVG support is actually quite good if you use the SVN version, but layouting still needs a good tool (then again, this can be done as SVG in Inkscape, too, and animation support is planned for 0.48). So, even the little graphical need I have are pretty much covered already. I agree with what Gary said about people living in their browsers. OS' lose importance quickly. If I'm not mistaken Adobe has announced plans to offer their whole suite on the web within 5-10 years. Obviously that doesn't help us today, but if you look at the Aviary suite you see it's doable already (I haven't tested it, though). So, yeah, better Linux support would be nice, but it's not that I feel an immediate need.
