I don't know about others, but this one works fine for me.
I don't call this a real application as they don't support anything
you don't pay for.
E.g., AR 8.0 (?) is available for Windows and has been for months,
now, but not for Linux.
The Adobe Flash Player for (32-bit) browsers on Linux also works, most
of the time, but it, too, is a "free" application, which means Adobe
doesn't provide support for it, either.
Looks like other folks have given responses I might have used. I will
only add that a piece of software that does what I want in a certain
context and has appropriate scope for my needs would qualify as an
application regardless of other considerations. It may not be the best
or meet everyones needs, but ...
I always thought that the OS was the base system to provide a place to do some
work, and applications are the tools that actually are used in doing such
work. Like a woodworkers shop and the saws and other tools inside said shop.

You hope everybody uses it, and
