To me, that's the same as "Five reasons not to invite a renowned scammer and con artist into your home". Unfortunately, my work colleagues think its normal and what else can they do but shrug.

i worked in a specific financial subindustry and the three software packages that were the best in the industry were not supported on linux (i did not test with WINE). the only software package that had linux support was absolutely awful. interface designed by business majors, not industry specialists.

i wish it were easy to work on linux, but hoping doesn't get them to change.

I am in a similar situation but in healthcare. Nothing save as the web-front ends are any use in linux. Some information systems are built on linux, but we need a Windows machine to use them, Hopefully the slow European gentle tilt to FOSS might help.
