Interesting, I have been thinking that making music (or video, graphics,

whatever art form) is another form of development. Many of the Linux DEs

are moving more towards a consumer interface role that makes them harder

to develop on. An audio computer for recording (audio or midi) or creating

sound is really a development machine and probably has similar as a code

development machine. Like being able to stuff lots of apps on the same

screen, manually set where your audio/midi is going to. Not only are the

DEs moving in this direction, but so is the hardware. There is nothing

wrong with this as most people who have computers use them as an

entertainment centre of some sort. It does make setting a computer up for

development more difficult.
