I strongly support using OSS every chance I have, and do what I can as a non-programmer to support OSS projects, but as someone who trained on industry standards for audio editing (since the 1990s, starting with Syntrillium’s Cool Edit Pro) I found Audacity quite difficult to use. I really don’t understand this philosophy that prefers when applications lack any cohesive visual design language. “Designed by engineers” is every bit as problematic to me as “engineering by designers”.
