Counter-counter question: why not try and run MS Office, Outlook,

etc. under Linux ? More choice for the user !
Those 'tons' of VST plugins are native Windows ones, they require

an emulated Windows environment just as e.g. Outlook would.

Much easier to use them under Windows, if you really want them.

Any anyway, of those 'tons' maybe 1% provides 'quality', the rest

isn't any better than what we already have or could have natively.

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
