Not true of Yoshimi. Yoshimi does both JACK and ALSA, for either MIDI or 
audio.

Actually, that is why many of the apps are the way they are. Their 
developers made them that way because they do use them, often daily. 
(Many open source apps came about because some programmer had an itch, 
and scratched it.) It works fine for them, so why should they change it 
to fit some "amateur's idea" of how the program should work?
