These are the people I hang out with too.  I forgot an obvious one:
ZynAddSubFX.  That's relatively mainstream friendly.  If you want
friendlier than that, I think Audacity pretty much covers everything
except stuff like CD players.  Lilypond is cross-platform, but again
not very friendly.
Ardour would be a great example, if it ran on Windows.  lol, your
question turned out to be a painful one.
I just looked and apparently ZynAddSubFX doesn't work so well on Mac.  lol
