Dream FOSS application

[cb951303]

What kind of application would you wish FOSS world had? Don't hesitate to include utopian ideas.

I would like to see a sketch based Mechanical CAD and a 100% DirectX API compatible library done with open source libraries (OpenGL, SDL...) so that game makers would cease ignoring linux users.

what about you?

Not to sound like a fanboy, but I'm not really missing anything outside of games and the like. All that's left from my perspective would be... maybe a better midi-creation tool?

Noteworthy Composer and Finale Notepad are fantastically powerful applications, I haven't found an equivalent I particularly liked.

If there was a good fl studio equivalent (i already tried rosegarder and lmms, neither are nearly as good as fl studio) i would be completely satisfied.

Although i have been somewhat succesful in running fl studio in wine. I am still trying to work out some audio issues though.

A good spell/grammar checker that is used by all applications. Aspell marks so many correct Swedish words as incorrect it's more confusing than helping. Also a dictionary with synonym/antonym finder and a Swedish/English dictionary that both have all the trade words from different fields and other obscure words I'm still not sure about. Throw in an encyclopedia too. I think these things can pass as one wish since they are closely related.

These things exists online but it would be nice to have offline resources when on the move.

My wishlist:
A program that downloads music from a large amount of creative commons music repositories. There's so uch good CC musing out there, it's just so hard to get at with a standard web browser.
A simple non-linear movie editor that's stable and is as easy to use as iMovie.
Video chatting/conferencing over AIM/MSN/Yahoo!/Gtalk/etc. integrated into Pidgin.
Better intel graphics card drivers.

Cubase

A decent, visually-oriented web page creation program.

HTML-oriented text editors don't cut it.

Agreed. I would also like to see it fully integrated to both QT and GTK textboxes. It would also be great if we had a system wide spell checker qucik-changer in the tray for multilingual people
