i'm reacting now because i'm just fed up with
those generalizations saying
that "musicians" don't want to see a command line, "musicians"
don't want
to compile,
That's my experience. Outside of the Linux audio community, I haven't met a
musician who was interested in computers for their own sake. Generally, I
find musicians relate to computers as other artists do - as a tool which they
expect to 'just work' - or as something arcane and unreliable, and best
avoided altogether.
"musicians" don't want to learn anything
new or different,
"musicians" are lazy, "musicians" are stupid....
I never said any of those things. I'm optimistic that Linux will soon provide
reliable creative tools that are widely accessible - not something we've ever
had before. I bet a Linux box now costs less in real terms than one decent
open reel tape recorder did in the 1950s.
