If you say so. I edit like a motherfucker with Ardour. Only system
I'm faster on is a legit Protools rig on an adequately powerful Mac.
My usual editor is Emacs (which has become rather user-friendly over the
years, not just power-user-friendly), I've been using UNIX-like systems
since before Linux came into being.
For me user-friendly implies that when I am demoing something and a
problem crops up, I can solve that problem using means available to the
audience rather than having to revert to "please look away for a moment"
brute-force fixes the audience has no way of following.
There is a common apologetic trend of claiming that being useful to an
average user and being useful to a power-user is by necessity
incompatible.
I don't buy it. I consider that a problem when it happens.
It's when you start editing that things get
awful.
It's all kind of a moot point though, because
it's the only actual
option.
Ah, but it is an actively developed option, so Ardour from the future
might be a more viable program than Ardour now. No need to be defeatist
about it.
