I don't doubt it! But there is no monolithic DAW and never has been, that could give me half of what you and the folks who designed the rest of my tools are mostly responsible for producing :-) And that is much appreciated !!!!!
No, I know the difference very well. My architecture currently has seven synchronous parallel chains right now ( see http://lsn.ponderworthy.com/doku.php/concurrent_patch_management ),
this document is a clear explanation of why the person that made application-level modular audio possible on Linux now believes in Monolithic DAWs :)
