My main complaint is not really about Linux, per se, but the whole DAW, etc.,

scene: Lack of interoperability!
I have a lot of Cakewalk files from the Windows days. Cannot do anything with

them besides play two tracks in Cakewalk-Express using WINE.
I have bought the Harrison Mix Deck (based on Ardour), but I need to be able

to integerate MIDI tools for which one of the other really good Linux DAWs

work better. And so on ...
In Windows, we do not really have sooo much choice. Maybe the "Big 3" and one

chooses one and lives with it. Linux affords much more choice but the choices

may be more specialized, have more distinctive strengths and weaknesses.
BTW, this is a professional list. Maybe I am showing my advanced age and

sensitivities but in my day, "sucks" was considered an expletive. Do we really

need to use such language among our colleagues?
