I voted for a few. NetObjects Fusion (but not FrontPage, since it won't
likely get ported anyway), FrameMaker (not unlikely, since other Unix
versions already exist), Quark XPress (which is on the list twice, under
two different spellings!), and ThumbsPlus, for starters. Under the
amount I'd be willing to pay, I used the same price range as for their
Windows counterparts, to be fair.

I also didn't vote for my favorite email package, Becky! Internet Mail,
because I realize it's too dependent on Windows technologies and would
require a complete rewrite, presumably.
