That would be an exaggeration, although I see where you are coming from.
Now, this:
With very few exceptions, LAD software is not
written for 'the users', it is written for the needs of the developers and
gifted to the community without warranty.
kinda contradicts this:
Nobody said the goal of Linux Audio was to replace
Non-Linux
Audio. The goal of Linux Audio is simply to provide free-software
alternatives for people who give a shit (this group consists mostly of the
LAD developers themselves).
And then...
Yes, the many standards/approches can be
annoying.. But since when is diversity a bad thing?
Since dawn of times, J.
Creating a complex product requires certain expertise. Acquiring that
expertise is a matter of time and devotion, hence the amount of people
having it is rather small. Divided, they cannot make usable software
fast enough.
And the problem of there being no such thing as an
open source graphic
designer or UX expert applies to all free-software, not just LAD.
I really love how bravely you make use of hyperbole :) I'm not sure if
you ever stumbled upon 100% lack of imagination, but I assure you that
there will be people who will understand you literally. And that would
be quite a disaster.
