I love it too, but I think it would actually be more applicable to more
limited projects such as Qtractor that rely on external programs for
everything from audio routing to sound generation. LMMS takes 10-12 seconds
to start cold on my system, and embeds an entire synth that was already
available as a standalone instrument. Not a complaint at all; I think its
all-in-one nature and willingness to give the user options (like the option
to not use JACK -- Qtractor throws an error on startup on my system due to
its JACK reliance) are two of LMMS' biggest strengths.

It's really strange to me that we're still discussing new name candidates
after 2 years (at least -- my online mail archive only goes back to
2012-01-01 and the first name discussion in there actually started two
years ago today, on 2012-02-04). I think I took part in a name contest
earlier than that, which also resulted in no name. I understand that it's
a devel discussion that non-programmers feel justified contributing to, and
that's gonna keep the suggestions flying, but even with most of the
participants skipping the "check if the domain is available" step which is
branding 101 today, it seems to be going on forever and ever.
