No, that question would be entirely orthogonal to the question of how to
distribute the software.

One of the big issue with migrating to GNU/Linux is people don't know
what software is available that is equivalent, or even in the same area
as the software they are use to, and even when they do, they don't want
to relearn (especially for professional use, where relearning means less
work gets done per hour).

But since Inkscape is already ported to Windows, and Xara still sells on
Windows, some people clearly prefer Xaras take on vector drawing, you'd
have to ask them.

My needs for vector drawing are a lot less than most peoples, and my
last professional work with vector graphics was probably map drawing at
the Meteorological Office.
