As someone who's used various DAWs extensively, Ableton Live most certainly is not perfect. It has a terrible piano roll (see FL Studio for a good one). Many have felt the same way, but they don't fix it and there's nothing you can do about it because it's closed source.

Of course building a DAW is extremely difficult. Doesn't mean that because a closed source version already exists that it's not an endeavor worth pursuing. I personally would love for there to be a quality open source DAW comparable to the commercial ones (if I were wealthy it'd definitely be something I'd bankroll).

Why would you bother posting such a comment?

Your notion that all questions regarding how to do the manifold tasks a DAW are resolved is specious, and you couldn't possibly prove it to be true because it's false. Ableton has managed to make a product that solves the DAW questions in one particular way, and it's a black-box to boot, so that's not in the public domain, as Meadowlark is.

The technical questions entailed in Rust trying to mate with GUIs are EXTREMELY UNSOLVED AND RELEVANT RIGHT NOW! Let me tell you, state, state, state.

I can't even propose that you work for Ableton as they are classier than this! Their product is a good and useful DAW for many people, you bet. Your point is?
