Yes, of course developers are free to go in whatever direction they please. 
However, as a user, I find the ALSA/JACK/LADSPA model so strong and useful 
that I am loathe to learn any applications that don't operate in this 
environment. Developers that communicate with each other seem much more 
likely to respond to queries from their user-base and the pool of Linux 
expertise represented by these lists gives me confidence that these 
applications probably will continue to be maintained and supported long 
enough for me to get a few albums completed.

Big up to the LADs!
This was a statement for the DoPBO. ;-)
