We here in the JavaFX team think that the JavaFX Production Suite is a great tool for designers and developers that enables them to work directly together to create animated, vibrant content & rich user interfaces. It helps each individual focus on what they do best and provides a smoother, iterative, workflow.
But hey, don't take our word for it, check out this blogger's opinion:
"Using the production suite leads to simpler programs that focus only on the logic and effects and leaves the heavy lifting of the design to the graphic artists who know how to do that best. In fact, incorporating the production suite into your toolbox provides you with a JavaFX UI design tool that rivals any other"

no sound, no fast graphics. Very "cool"

"Start breaking the barriers!"
That's what the download page says - so here goes...
Do you think you could provide a jar file download too? There are enough barriers to developing JavaFX on Linux already, it would _really_ help if you didn't make the situation worse.
fwiw: Download the windoze version and use 'cabextract'
