FWIW, Photoshop and Illustrator generally work very well through Wine, not sure about CAD so I can't comment on that.

In general though, yeah, if you have to use some super proprietary Windows-only software, you very well may be out of luck for Linux. In which case, yeah, you have to put up with Windows and jump through whatever hoops Microsoft wants you to jump through.
