I have installed it on my Mac, have not got enough time to try it on Linux.

The installer feels alien on the Mac, seems like a Windows app on a Mac with
that "Next-Next-Next" style installer instead of the "drag-and-drop" style
one. It is also a bit slowish, I guess because it was written in Java
instead of native code?

Other than these, it looks impressive and is more like a modern development
software so I am liking it. I have not yet tried all functionalities, just
played with it for couple of minutes to be honest, but so far what I have
tried seemed to be ok.
