Interesting, I have been thinking that making music (or video, graphics,
whatever art form) is another form of development. Many of the Linux DEs
are moving more towards a consumer interface role that makes them harder
to develop on. An audio computer for recording (audio or midi) or creating
sound is really a development machine and probably has similar as a code
development machine. Like being able to stuff lots of apps on the same
screen, manually set where your audio/midi is going to. Not only are the
DEs moving in this direction, but so is the hardware. There is nothing
wrong with this as most people who have computers use them as an
entertainment centre of some sort. It does make setting a computer up for
development more difficult.
