I think this was part of what I was trying to explain. Audio
professionals that I work with just use their DAW for audio editing. In
some ways, I think DAWs have replaced the audio editor.

The numbers are small, but I think the numbers are rising. For
instance, very popular youtubers are coming out and saying they're
using Linux for their day-to-day use, which includes their video and
audio editing. I'm talking about big youtubers like Pewdiepie and
SomeOrdinaryGamers, which I think will bring more users to the Linux
audio editing world. I've also been running into more Linux music
makers here and there, in online communities and in real life. I
think a big milestone was Reaper releasing for Linux. After that, it
seemed there was more interest in Linux for audio.
I have no data to back any of this up, but I thought I would share
some of my experience.
I've noticed this also. While I appreciate seeing more linux use, I
note that Resolve and Reaper aren't open source, which saddens me. I
do like Resolve, despite not being open source.
A bit off topic, but two nice features of Resolve that I'll point out
that is that is has a great audio editing system, inherited from
Fairlight consoles. This would likely lessen the appeal of using a
separate audio editor. The second great feature is that is has good
workgroup tools, either based on Postgres locally (or with VPN), or
via their new cloud service. For multi-editor projects, this is great,
and this is a feature that could easily be worth seeing in other tools
like Ardour, Shotcut, or Kdenlive.
