Nice read, I'll mostly agree with you that although progress has been made, there are still many "normal" workflows for electronic musicians that are currently very difficult to set up to a satisfactory degree. On the plugin front, there are some advancements that you missed out on: Faust can now compile to LV2, so creating custom synths is a *lot* easier. Also Minaton is a subtractive mono synth from Nick Bailey, which works quite well here.

I feel linux audio's progress is somewhat like being on a boat: when you look at the coast it doesn't seem to go fast, but when looking at the water beside you: one realizes the pace is quick :)
