Afaik A3 gets good reviews, also in terms of workflow. So far so good.

JackSession makes my life more easy. I'm happy with it and hope it will 
be improved and more widely supported in 2012.
LV2 is a other thing which is improved a lot in 2011, very important for 
Linuxaudio.

It would be good if Renoise would support LV2 soon.

Other things on my wishlist for 2012 ;)

- Musicxml export for Lilypond
- JackSession more widely supported (so far so good)
- Pianoteq, Renoise etc. with LV2 support
- Adding bends to tablature functionality in Lilypond
- JACK 3 :)
- Improved SFZ support in LinuxSampler
