of trying something different and working in a way that is not familiar

Does what I want (why should I change?)
1991 SY22
1991 Acorn Risc PC as a sequencer
1992 Sound Canvas
1995 QS300
2002 PC running linux as a sequencer
2006 ZynAddSubFX (major wake-up)
I do try other software and hardware stuff from time to time, to make
sure I don't get complacent again, if for no other reason!
Oh, and recently I've gone back to guitar playing after a 35 year
break - my poor fingers :o

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Most people have ROI on their minds. If spending all this time learning
Linux and this new app is just going to bring me to the same level of
functionality that I already have, why bother? Heck, even
Mac OS X has more in common with linux than windows does, and I'm not
seeing people going 'Why can't I run Ableton on this Mac? Ugh it sucks
big time, I won't bother with it!'.
First: I only run linux, never tried Ableton Live, but would like to.
To answer (or comment) what you wrote there:
1) If you need ableton live, you need ableton live, and if it won't work
on OS-however-nice it stops right there, at least for some people.
