It honestly does most things that these do, but I do find ableton to be a bit more intuitive. The workflow is a bit different, sessions are given more importance in ableton while the timeline feels like the __main__ way of working in ardour. The piano roll is integrated in the timeline which is a nitpick thing that I don't love about ardour. All in all, you can do basically the same things, but for some reason I do feel like it takes just a bit more work in ardour. But I'm an amateur hobbyist, so I prefer the OSS version.
