How many OSS projects are aiming at similar goals? Each one has one or two

Lack of collaboration is one of the weaknesses of
the free software
development (peculiarly enough it is considered one of its strenghts),
especially with audio software.
A weakness compared to what? Proprietary software is /definitely/ not
immune to this problem (in fact, I'd say it's far worse - there's no
collaboration whatsoever). Is is really a weakness of free software if
non-free software has the same problem?
I don't hear people complaining about Steinberg and Emagic 'duplicating
effort'.
