For crappy little uses, then Access is fine, but nobody professional should actually be using it, even on Windows. Once a company reaches any decent size (100+), Access is simply not scalable, and is out of the picture. Even before its a pretty poor performer, for anything more than a couple of tables, and maybe a query or two.
At work ( Which is currently a mix of Linux and MS ) we use the Enterprise Manager for database work on the MS SQL servers, and write our frontends in C# for Windows. ( We have case management software that requires Windows, and MS Office. and the SQL servers. )
If your using Access as a professional, than your only playing at Database work.
