There is an enormous amount of control you have in those programs, and, as far
as I can see, no 'small' way it can be represented.
I agree there is an amount of wasted space in Rosegarden, but not enough to be
a problem for me.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I see your point and 'most people' was prob they wrong way to phrase it as I
personally have never used ecasound and I totally agree about the many
advantages of a GUI for audio production. I think the point I was trying to
make is that I'd expect Linux users on the whole to be less concerned about
a pretty GUI than Windows and especially OSX users. Personally, If I have a
choice between a super-shiny, CPU hogging GUI or a much more plain yet just
as functional and much less CPU intensive GUI I'd go for the latter every
time. Nice looks don't mean the program is any easier to use although bad
colour schemes, un-intuitive layouts and GUIs that don't fit on your screen
are obviously a real problem. Nice GUIs are cool and are desireable but pale
into significance when compared to usability, stability, performance,
features and in the case of synths sound quality.
