</div>I know I'm not going to make any friends with such a statement, but<br>
what is the problem with dropping "software like Ardour and Qtractor"?<br>
<br>
If you are musician in the first place, then it's a matter of what<br>
works best for you. If you are geek in the first place, then there's<br>
no way you will abandon free software, so what's the problem? :)<br>
<br>
We are talking about competition which is a natural thing. Rosegarden<br>
can lose users to MusE or Qtractor. Qtractor can lose users to Ardour.<br>
It happens all the time. Can you see any of the developers crying,<br>
because they are all alone? :)<br>
