I was having beers this weekend with one of the lead Native Instruments 
Guitar Rig developers and the impression I got ( when raising the topic 
of Linux support) was they do not have enough manpower to contend with 
all of the different flavours and distributions out there. They are 
pretty scared off really. I suggested that they pick a platform as the 
lowest common denominator (Debian perhaps - even though redhat is my 
preference) and focus on the app being Jack aware. They are already so 
confounded with trying to support all the different flavours of Windows 
and Mac OSes.

Surprisingly enough, this dude had no awareness of guitarix. I changed 
that I hope.

Realistically though, I'm not sure how we can mitigate the situation. 
I'm a full advocate of everything opensource, but we should also make it 
easier for commercial products to be used. It can only help us in the 
long run
