Following on from that, I find the (short) ritual I have when firing up seems
to settle me into the right frame of mind for creative work.
I hit the 'big switch' and stuff sequentially powers up. Once the desktop is
there (qjackctl set and running) I click on an icon to pull up Yoshimi, which
auto-connects main L&R audio mains. I click on another icon for Rosegarden,
which is configured to find Yoshimi and the hardware synths. It will also find
Hydrogen and Qsynth if they are running, but I don't use those very often.
This could be further automated of course, but I like it that way.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Some people it more convenient to have
instruments as plugins inside a
DAW rather than external applications. That's all that is being
discussed.
I think that that stems from the need/wish to be able to easily recall a
'full setup' for a piece. Which I know probably leads to 'session
management' discussions.
Essentially I think that if people were able to one-click load DAW +
Sequencer + (their instrument setup) regardless of the fact it is a
single application or not, that need would be fulfilled.
The advantage of the non-single-application approach is obviously
modularity as well as a certain degree of portability.
Personally the does-it-all-daw-sequencer-whatnot paradigm which got so
popular at beginning of 2000s was one of the aspects which drew me to
Linux where I could have a sequencer which was a sequencer, a DAW which
was a DAW, etc. and 'cable' up everything through JACK
My two cents.
