Adobe Flash Builder (Flex Builder)

What works

All main features - simply a new irritations (see below)

What does not

The whole program is a bit slow, and some dialogs will only partially repaint (You have to drag them off the screen and back on before their contents shows up, which is weird.) The font rendering is also very bad, although I suspect that is something that I can fix if I reconfigure my system properly. The program seems, in some cases, to have issues rendering colour gradients in design view - one end of the gradient will not show. That is, an element that is, for example, coloured a gradient from blue to green may actually render as a gradient from green to transparent. It's a bit weird, but is still usable.

Additional Comments

I had to use winetricks vcrun2005 to make it install, and it does run quite annoyingly slowly. It does, importantly, work, though. Also, for some reason it installs utterly insane settings in one of the .ini files in the install directory for the java runtime settings it uses to run the program (Requesting some absurdly huge stack size and so on). You will need to correct this (change the value from some gigantic number to a couple of hundred MB or such), else java will complain that you don't have 30 petabytes of RAM for it to use. Finally, and somewhat amusingly, the splash screen is actually upside-down. I'm not even going to pretend to understand why it does this, but I think I saw a bug report about it a while back that got fixed (So this *might* be caused by my having done winetricks.) - Would advise trying to install without winetrickery first.
