No, I am not saying you are not good programmers.  I understand the 
situation between linux audio developers and commercial software 
developers.  I understand your time is limited and theirs is not (well, 
to a point).  I understand that commercial software developers have 
incentive for writing the apps (they are getting paid).  I also 
understand that most linux audio software is a hobby for the developers. 
When I say "probably never will be..", my point is that commercial 
software developers simply have more time and resources.  I am not 
saying they are more competent than a linux audio developer.

I understand quite a bit more than most of you may think.
