Or you could use Java. It runs on anything that has a Java Virtual 
Machine, which is all the mainstream operating systems. Now Java is not 
very good at real-time applications (although it is by no means slow, 
take my word on it), but editing a synth is not a real-time application.

For the record, at work I'm happily running Solaris 8 on a Sun SPARC 
system, with Gnome as the desktop environment. But it has to be a very 
good reason for me not to write a program in Java.
