It's probably healthy for linux audio to have some people thinking that way :)

Devs usually code for fun, aren't paid, have limited time and a

project already running. IIRC the hammond thread led to connie and the

bagpipe thread recieved at least a fiew responses. No revolution but

something.

Apart from plugins there is Jack. Maybe the people not bothering about

the plugin situation are happy using Jack apps and value the

flexibility of e.g. pd or ams more than fancy instrument plugins. A

matter of ambitions and taste.
There are no big commercial players in the world of linux audio, so

there are no entities equipped with the interest and resources to

serve professionals with complete solutions. (Well, for plain

multitrack recording there is 64studio/Ardour, I'd call it rather

feature-complete.)
Linux appears to be good at well designed (thus in this respect

professional-friendly) infrastructures to build upon, and less good at

serving end users in the first place.

LV2 is not yet mature so it will take some time and/or donations until...
