this email).And that a really good and successful app has got both -
comfort and the underlying technology. What linux audio offers is
technology. No comfort at all. Right now it's all just academic

I don't think I could possibly care less who uses 'linux audio'. I
don't really think anyone else here should either - we should be aiming
to build the best system possible, period. Not saying "look! popular
software the people pay money for does this; therefore we must too!"
If anything, we should be looking at the proprietary music software
world to make sure we avoid repeating their mistakes (ridiculous
duplication of effort, lock-in, and horrid UIs for example), not
duplicating them just because. (Not to say we can't take positive
things from that world too though)
