It's funny but I have the same problem with digital music composition. Sure I can noodle on a physical musical instrument, and I can imagine elaborate compositions very easily, but the cognitive overhead of using pretty much any software, let alone the disjointed mess of open source music software available on Linux, completely takes me out of the headspace required to effectively compose. I know some people manage to do it, in the same way that some people manage to write complex software that uses many libraries in C++. Are they just smarter than me? Or have they simply {discovered, bought, created} a superior toolchain?
