Monolithic and too HEAVYWEIGHT for his MIDI editing needs?  O_o

Is that debate archived somewhere?  I didn't google up anything.

As an interesting contrast to the point, I did dig this up:

(http://linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7514&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0)

"...by design Linux audio developers have steered clear of attempting 
monolithic applications such as Cubase or Logic Audio. However, many of the 
functions of those applications can be replaced by running a JACK-connected 
LADSPA-savvy set of software such as Ardour, Hydrogen, Rosegarden and 
ZynAddSubFX...."

So are we monolithic or aren't we?

Actually, I don't really care what anyone else thinks.  I'm here because 
Rosegarden is, IMHO, the clear category killer in this area of Linuxdom.  I 
can't begin to imagine actually trying to use anything else.  Bleah.  FWIW.
