Audacity is a simple tool that does simple things quickly, efficiently, and for free. That's why it's popular. Generally I wince whenever people go monkeying around with tools like Audacity, because their instinct is to "improve" it by adding layers and layers of new features when simplicity was always the core appeal. That said, Tantacrul seems to have his priorities straight. It sounds like he's going into this carefully and thoughtfully, which is a good sign. And Audacity does have one glaring problem I'll readily admit to: it's not simple ENOUGH. There's a lot of UI/UX etc that could be cleaned up, re-orged and better labelled so that people can actually find what they're looking for and use it more easily. As-is, the program can be a little thorny when you're first getting into it.
