no, i think you're right, Guy...
im first and foremost a composer - second job is graphic design - and 
i've often wondered at the sort of interfaces im given that seem to have 
been designed by non-musicians... not that theres anything wrong with 
that, but it makes it more difficult for a musician to work with....

apps (in the mac/windoze world - im making no judgement about GNU/Linux 
apps here!) that i find 'seamless'... that i can use intuitively without 
need for worrying about how they work:
ProTools
Ableton Live
NI Spektral Delay (never entirely sure what its going to do, but its got 
a lovely interface - oh please please someone code something like this 
for GNU/Linux! ;-)
MetaSynth - nice interface, i've done a lot of work with it. the manual 
just sucks, ignore it!

apps i find horribly confusing:
Reason
Max
Supercollider

on the borderline:
IRCAM AudioSculpt - something i have worked with frequently but still 
find the deeper realms of it unfathomable...!
ReBirth - nice to play with but there seems to be no instructions that 
are of any use!
Unity Session - pretty cool though complex
